First let me say that choosing only 3 images from the extraordinary collection posted in the contest thread was no easy task. Thank you to everyone who participated in the Spring Fling and an extra big thanks to those of you who entered images in the contest. I look forward to next year's spring fling in Moab, which will be even bigger and better!

Without further ado, here are the winners:

1st place - Sarah Fischler for her early morning photo at Dead Horse Point SP.
2nd place - Howard Cihak for his photo of a teeny tiny Sarah standing atop a not-at-all teeny tiny cliff at Dead Horse Point SP.
3rd place - Bob Karcz for his photo of a cascade and reflection in Negro Bill Canyon.

Congratulations to the winners! Please email me your shipping address and I'll get your prizes out to you as soon as possible. I leave for 12 days in Oregon on Sunday and I've got a lot to do between now and then. I might not get your prizes out until I return but I promise to try and ship them before I leave.

Thanks again, everyone! I really enjoyed meeting and photographing with all of you.

Kudos Sarah, Howard, and Bob! I don't envy Bret having to choose from so many wonderful images. Like I said earlier, we gotta do this again...Soon!

Much as I was hoping to get the deed to John's farm, I, too, was betting on Sarah's image.

Thank you, Bret! I really appreciate that you selected my image among a crop of really nice work. And, congratulations to Howard and Bob, as well - both great images.

It was so great to meet everyone and I can't wait until next year.

Again, thanks!
