Thanks, Charlie.

I couldn't help read your statement, "I am constantly traveling to some of the most beautiful places" on your website, without suffering more than just a twinge of envy. Lucky you.

Looking forward to some future images from those places..

Darryl

Wonderful image, Darryl. Spectacular lighting and an excellent composition. Congratulations!

Congratualtions to your very close 2nd place finish, Dean. Extremely well challenged with an outstanding image.

Russ

A much appreciated and gracious comment, Dean.

A private email coming your way.

All the best,
Darryl

Congratulations, Darryl. Outstanding image, as always. You do the Oregon coast proud.

Russ

Thanks, Russ.

My downside is not making it past a 35-mile radius from my home town for any dedicated photo trips. I look at the places you, Dean, Charlie and others shoot, and that same twinge mentioned above rears its ugly head.

Have fun in your upcoming trips.

Darryl

Congratulations Darryl, a stunning shot, beautiful, really beautiful. Well done.

Darryl, that is a really cool shot! Your pix of the Oregon coast make me want to visit there. Perhaps one day.

Thanks, Mike.

If you ever decide to come up my way, and can give me some advance notice, I'll see if I can take some time off, and I'll take you to some of my favorite spots.

Best regards,
Darryl

Congratulations. The warm colors really make this image.

I thought I had some nice interior architectural shots in my archives, until I saw those on your website. Impressive, indeed.

As was your "Colors of Autumn" winning image, Koos.

I'm very appreciative that you thought my image was worthy enough for nomination.
