My gallery was down at the time the buttons were handed down and I just got around to looking at the winners, the ones with the gold color next to them have nothing that this does not have and better. The lighting is perfect as is the effect used to create such beauty. Congratulations! #5977697Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
