Well done one and all - there's many other people that I could put mentions to, but then this would become a very long article!

Keep up the good work!

Wow, thanks to all who considered my photo worthy of a good vote, and a big thank you of course to ThinkCamera for running the competition in the first place.

I'm seriously chuffed to win, especially considering the quality of the images that were entered.

Thanks again. :)

There were some little gems tucked away in there that may have not got quite the deserved recognition - all the same, you were the top of the pile according to votes Mr Sayles!

So congratulations, a cracker of an image.

Well deserved. Congratulations!

Well done Michael

Congratulations Michael!
I think this one was the winner from the moment I saw it.
All of the winners and runners-ups are providing me with great inspiration and encouragement to keep learning and improving. Keep 'em coming!

Well done Michael and it was well deserved. It's great to see that the voters made the right choice and we could have closed the votes on day one I think! I just wanted to know if you wanted to donate your prize to me as you don't really need it ;-)
Commiserations to the runners up.

Congratulations Michael. This one was a winner from day one and rightly so. Very creative and very well done. Also a big congratulations to the runners-up. Both excellent images.:)

Congratulations micheal, :)

Thanks all for your kind words - it really is appreciated. I'm glad it turned out well - it was a bit of a last-minute flash of inspiration - and then I had to find somewhere that sold joss-sticks before the deadline!!

Thanks again, and I'm looking forward to seeing the entries in the next round - whatever the subject may be!

Yep, very well done to all of you, a totally deserving winner and two fabulous runners up as well.
