I just read the message from Bruce and I still words fail me. I have never never thought of becomming winner in a photo manipulation contest. Thanks to all the voters. There were a great many of other worthy images in this contest, so my congratulations go to all the other contestants and the placed, who also could have been no. 1 Thanks to the moderators who did a great job also. The time you put into moderating this forum is not in vain, shown by the great number of images. Thanks again. Georg
