Making this my favorite of your November entries, Mike. I love the moment you caught, the colors and the effects. It's a great "period" shot. In a tie (I tossed a coin) is Day's Beginning. The colors, clarity and composition are stunning and I'll be surprised if it does not go on. Good luck. #8196510

Nikki - Thanks! This is my second favorite for the month right after Day's Beginning. I am always happy to capture anything that tells a story. :-) Mike #8210755

Dear Photo Friend: I feel that something has changed at Better Photo but cannot tell you just what has happened. I have been here since 2003 and most every month I have written to all the winners telling them how their work touches me. I have witnessed photographs that bring tears to my eyes and colors that are unbelievable, now I am worried that like all good things that it will not be here the next time I look.
But the feeling of not being able to congratulate all the winners for the hard work, and sharing their talent with all of us makes me so sad.
However it turns out and even if this is the last time I have this privilege, to let you know how exceptional your work has been, please know that I will never forget.
CONGRATULATIONS to all of you for the month of February, 2013, I send my very best to you always, Merna Nobile #10664911
