Hi Debora, Brian here. You had me questioning myself when you left your message about my image at http://www.betterphoto.com/forms/discussionDetail.php?threadID=155359 having been awarded a finalist position both in February and this month. I did some checking and guess what... this photo is also a finalist for February, though you were only notified of it in March. Funny how you got confused about thinking my image on page 29 had been awarded a finalist position twice, (which wasn't the case at all), and this image is on Page 9 of the same finalist selection phase and it didn't sort of click? :) We all make mistakes, but thanks for your concerns just the same.
B.T.W. This is a spectacular capture, I'll be surprised if it doesn't place highly in the final selection phase.
Congratulations.
