Thank you !! thank you !! this is unbelievable ! I would like to thank the members of the academy for this honor ! I 'd like to thank the cast and crew of dgrin, smugmug, daily photos ! thank you Shay, Andy, doctorit and all others behind the scenes !

Seriously, all the photographs in the LPS, not just the finals were just awesome. I kept thinking I wish I had done that and that...my vote went to urbanaries on both the polls for her wonderful shot
