Congratulations, it's a great image and you deserved to win! Ellamay too!
And rather than start another thank you thread, let me also say THANKS! My own image is pretty special to me, and I am very proud to have it place so well in this elite group of images will have me smiling all through 2006!
thanks everyone for my highest place shot, as well as all the comments! Most I ever got! I hope some of you decide to go to kenya and other spots in africa to find gems like this

Congrats to all the ribbon winners.
Lynn,
I knew the migration one was yours. The hippo makes the image. I gave it a 9.
Neil,
Yours is another one of the shots I gave 9 to. Wonderful depth and detail.
It appears that all three ribbons are ones I voted 9.
Well, it's morning, and I am still pinching myself to see if this is a dream. Thank you to everyone who entered for making this a great challenge. There were so many stunning images that I really believe any one of several dozen were worthy contenders. I feel honored and truely humbled to have been fortunate enough to have been in the right place at the right time, prepared. It was one of those moments that I live for, photographically, and it may never come along again for me.
Thank you all for your votes of confidence and the MANY comments and crits that I received. I am totally overwhelmed.
