Many thanks for Second Place. You chose two things very well, first of all the excellent theme and secondly the winning image. Well Done!
Best Regards,
Walter

In looking back over the winning images, I am reminded that each of them has deployed the "rule of thirds" to especially powerful effect; not surprising given the limited # of elements in the photos, and perhaps a useful reminder to us all about one of the times when such principles can play a very important role in our photography.
