Holy cow, I had no idea - thanks for posting this, Jack! Also, a huge thank you to everyone who voted for my image after the initial entry. Much appreciated!
Nate: I won't be one bit disappointed if your image takes grand prize. PHENOMENAL!

Honestly, when you look at the finalists group of images, you could do better picking out a week's worth of the best images from the ESS gallery on NPN! I'm surprised at many of the other entries that made it, and the number of votes and ratings seems to have little to do with the quality of the image and perhaps more to do with how many friends and family they can get to vote for them! I refuse to email all my friends to say 'vote for me'! Am I wrong?

How does a B and W qualify as a finalist in a Nature's COLORS contest?
