So I must try again and see if my picture can truly win a contest
I impressed myself with what I had done to win... :lol:
btw... I know nothing about cameras or photography. Just aim and shoot. :)

assymetric composition and light mix used throughout: Not bad EH!

I really am not concerned about this for myself and am posting more in fun :) than anything but It looks like many lost a few bucks.
