Recognized the winner as one of yours. I remember falling all over myself when I saw it the first time---enjoyed seeing it again. (There is only one of yours that I like more--a little more on the purple side than the pink.)

Congratulations Charles! I enjoyed looking at all the other flower pics, but especially enjoyed the album of your corgis. I love the portrait type pic of you with the dogs (& perhaps a cym blooming in the background!)

It's an awesome shot - I can almost feel the texture...

Congratulations on the awesome win! I fell behind on all your gorgeous photos and wonderful win! In fact I fell behind on all orchids and roses because of a very sad season with my brother (7 year old beloved dog died suddenly and unexpectedly from IMHA) and also some sad times for some of my friends on other forums. I've also been very busy this agility season since I compete with my Border Collie Eluane at the American AKC trials. So CONGRATULATIONS, CONGRATULATIONS, CONGRATULATIONS. My agility friends get to go to their world championships but Ellie and I just started competing. 3 trials only, and 3 first place ribbons at the Midwest venues for Novice dogs. Nothing at all like you, the Expert of all Experts, LOL!

It's fantastic to ace the competition with your amazing gorgeous photo. There are so many fantastic photos at Flicker too, so this is a Great Honor! The runner up with the Sunflower also did a fantastic job but yours was absolutely outstanding!
