Great Blue Heron #3

Mike thank you for your kind words. I totally agree that this should not be a popularity contest and should be voted on by a board of judges. Judges that have a background in art and photography. Thanks again for your comment. I truly appreciate it. Paulette Thomas

For what little it may be worth, know that I truly felt this piece worthy of being on a billboard. If as contestants we can look through all the submissions and choose our favorites, I wonder why the judges (whose opinions should be more valuable than mine) can't do the same, instead of making this a popularity contest. I wish you the best with all your art.
