Surprise-surprise!

Congratulations Michel!

lol thanks.

Not that I have the time to track each and every contest I enter, nor does it equate to having won a lottery and such, but it does offer added exposure by way of the "Homepage Feature + Facebook Feature".....

Every little bit counts right?

Congrats. Michel - easy to see why that image was so popular with the voters.

It is great to be acknowledged by a jury of your peers, especially when you find out you have placed by surprise !

Congrats...I LOVE that gull image of yours!

Way to go Michel! You do know that you have to declare your winnings on your income taxes, right?

And yes, every little bit helps, or at least it certainly doesn't hurt.

Congrats!

EDITED: Wow! That is a great photo. If you had asked I would have voted for you! lol

Congrats, Michel....Abbie has a thread also where you can post your image and get a little more attention!

Now there you go ... it can be done. Thanks for the encouragement, Michel.

Congratulations Michel! That is an amazing photograph! I don't ask for votes either and have had the occasional win. It does sometimes happen.

Well Done!

No vote soliciting. That IS surprising. Let us now demolish Facebook forever. (^__^)

Congrats, beautiful image. I sometimes host contests and see much cheating, that is why I slacked off on hosting so many. I watch the same people add and remove their work to make sure that they are the first looked at by voters. I have also seen really naive and poorly taken shots win because of popularity. It is so nice to see someone win who actually deserves it!

That is a terrific image and it's easy to see how it won without solicitation. Congratulations again.
