My personal favorite was Dawning. Peter second. And I really liked the
Matterhorn reflection, but that's probably just me. In the landscape arena, I
probably would have given Mornington an edge. At any rate, I need an "I Agree
With Andrew" t-shirt. I thought the winner one of the least of the lot.
As for Brian's competition, a whole different level. After cursory examination,
I would have picked the three women looking back over their shoulders, heels in
hands. I did note the Sunset Cliche has upped the odds a bit on such shots
willing competitions. <g>
