Thanks so much for the special mention, and congrats to the winners. Very hard one to judge and I can see you put a LOT of sincere and careful thought into your choices. Excellent choices too. Thanks! Sandi (or Sasha, in your part of the world).

Thanks for the second place! This was the first time I had to go-out-and-get-one for a contest, not having a street lamp shot already.
Congrats to Stuart on a great shot.

Hey, hey ...thanks for third. Great competition - nice choice on subject. Congrats to all the winners also. Great shots.

Many thanks for the winning place; the 153rd competition is up and running already and as I've said there, I feel somewhat humbled by the choice, given the extremely high quality of so many of the other entries.

Looking forward to seeing your entries in the net comp .... sincere thanks once again
