Congratulations! That is a great capture!

Howard, that first place winner must have had some phenomenal image or was married to the owner's daughter, because what you have there is truly an amazing capture. One butterfly looking that good isn't easy to get, but to have the second one just inches from hitting the runway is superb. First place in MY book! Merry Christmas to YOU!

Thank you all for your comments. I was directed to the contest by a photographer friend of mine..And it was a free contest, so nothing to lose.
I suggest anyone who's interested in get their work out there to be on the lookout :smile:
