For those who don't know, Charles was "Best of Show" winner at GFM in 2003. Listmeister Brewer and I judged he's the contest (just so you don't attach *too* much credibility to his win!) and Charles's photo is the one for which I unofficially re-named the awards: Instead of "Honorable Mention", "Runner-Up" and "Winner", I suggested they be categorized as "Great Shot", "I Wish I'd Taken That One" and, "I Hate This Guy!" ;-) Here's Charles' winning shot: http://www.grandfather.com/events/naturephoto2003/leaf_Braswell.jpg (It looks even better as a print or projected) He *also* won the Wildflower category: http://www.grandfather.com/events/naturephoto2003/flame_Braswell.JPG -- Mark Roberts Photography and writing www.robertstech.com
