Thank you, moderators. I didn't know I got an EP (MP?) until someone congratulated me in a reply to the image. I think I've mentioned before that my willingness to create technically imperfect, but visually engaging (at least to me) images was given a boost by my experience with the NPN roving camera. The minidigi has no chance at technical perfection, so I was forced out of my own self-constructed box. The EP is not a minidigi shot, but I doubt I would have thought to do it pre-Rover.

ps - Congratulations to this weeks other winners. I am humbled to be included in such company.

Pete, I agree with your observation about the roving camera, and how if forces one to think beyond just technical execution. Our thanks to Mark for thinking of this project and keeping it moving forward.

BTW Pete, nice shot!

Great images as always, Congrats to all
