Photo Contests

Thanks guys. It was a nice surprise when I got the email saying I was the winner. I received a follow up email yesterday saying they sent my prize package (1night stay at Geneva on the lake 439.00 value, 5 copies of the magazine & a plaque with my image on it) to the wrong person. They are working on resolving the problem & I should have the package in 10 days. Feel bad for the person that has to give it up( not my plaque but the rest).

I told Mark flat out that I wasn't returning any of it! I'm even going to have the plaque altered, damn it!

Wow that would be disappointing, glad they're working on it for you. Congrats again it is a great shot, I really like how you captured the sun's rays in it.

Thanks Chris.

I am sure Mark would be willing to duplicate the prize so we can both have one.

For what I've paid him for advertising over the past four years, I could have stayed there several times myself! Just kidding. I am happy to support such a fine publication in whatever modest way that I can.

The "prize" is just a framed copy of your photo, but heck, we're in a fiscal crisis. You might also get published in the Conservationist.
