I'm very proud I placed. Though - 7 finalists are not identified with their creators.
Is there a way still - HappyCynic - to tell us the names of the other photographers whose photos were in the top ten?

But, I am sucker for anything Greece, especially anything relating to Athena (see my screen name). It looks like a painting!!

your magical photo and the deserved win. Maxfield Parrish lives on in this shot.

rdking647 - I salute you for your win as well. I want to fly into your photo and disappear in it. It gives me the feel of a 3D movie. I wonder just how you did it.

Alfredo - a more than deserved selection for Host Choice. Had I hosted it would have been one of mine for the humor and the slant. Love that photo.

Great contest! 30 worthy entries.
All deserved a win.
