Warm heart

Today is a happy day for me.

Firstly, I think I have "officially" recovered from my cold. Thank you to all of you for your concerns for me. :)

Secondly, I am the winner of the Photo-of-the-Month August 2008 contest on shutterbugs.biz with the Garden of the Gods image. http://www.shutterbugs.biz/featuredphotographer.html

I have just participated in that site ( http://www.shutterbugs.biz/ ) a couple of months ago and so far I like it. Very clean interface and good people there. That is the only photo contest site I have joined so far. I find the other sites quite intimidating, to an amateur like me, that is :).

Canon EOS 5D ,Canon EF 180mm f/3.5L Macro USM
1/160s f/11.0 at 180.0mm iso200 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto
