Mornin', everybody. Long time, no see. I haven't posted in quite a while but I still visit, look, and learn everyday.

Back in late March I entered this photo in a contest hosted by "Southern Living" magazine at the urging of a friend. The contest was several months long and I was informed last week that I'd actually won the thing.

This shot was taken on Bayou Dorcheat near Doyline, Louisiana at sunrise on Easter morning. I was sitting in a moving Bass Boat and shooting twisted around over my shoulder. It was just such pretty light that I had to "Hail Mary" it and hope it would work out.

I'm not sure what happens with the image from this point but I'm expecting a packet in the mail which, I assume, will explain all of that. So, a chance for publication? Maybe. But I don't really know, yet.

Anyway, you Ladies and Gents have been so instrumental to me pursuing this hobby turned love that I just wanted to share. Thanks and thanks for the look. :)

It is a special shot. Light and timing creates special stories. Congratulations.

I can see why it won... I've had the same experience of being in my bass boat at sunrise or sunset and all of a sudden, amazing things begin to happen! Good work and congrats on your win...

Thanks again, everybody.

SX2002, the prize package is three two night stays at any of three Southern Living affiliated resorts. I'm going to see if I can get the cash value or, at least, part of it, though. Right now, the money would be a lot more useful.
