Congratulations, Sally! Good on you. I assume you’ve had enough time with your lead to think of a new challenge. Can’t wait to see it!

[wiskerke]

Congratulations Sally!

[Cecile Marion]

Congratulations!

[gvallee]

Congratulations Sally!

[aphperspective]

Congratulations Sally.

[NYCat]

I somehow knew those little penguins would move ahead faster than my zebras. I'm a slow walker and I've always blamed it on my short legs. When I was in the Falkland Islands I learned that those little penguins walk faster than I do!  Seriously, the penguins are wonderful. Congratulations, Sally.

[Michael Ventura]

I totally agree with you... it was a toss up for me, but i voted for your zebras, because you had repetitions (stripes) within your repetition (zebras)

 

 

 

Great work Sally....Great work NYCat.... and everyone else.....  

[NYCat]

Yes, if I had won all credit would have gone to the beautiful zebras.

nah, the credit is for Your interpretation of the scene...  10 photographers could be there at the same time, and we likely get 10 different images...
