So honored. This was such a fun artist pick! Thank you @darrellburnett for hosting and picking such an interesting artist to learn about. I can't wait for the movie now. Great work @houdiniem I think your picture was absolutely stunning and deserved the win and since I've already hosted this one a couple of times I think you should take over hosting for the next artist challenge. (If you want) :) Thanks to everyone who voted!
Thank you @colie and @kali66, it's very kind of you. I do feel I could have spent more time and paid more attention to it, but unfortunately it came at an unexpected extremely busy period (that I'm still in the middle of) with only a few minutes each day to do anything on the computer. That said, the whole process was one of those things I genuinely absolutely loved doing (well, apart from the choosing bit!), but I can't say I'm exactly in a rush to do it again!
@annied @sunraye @3rdxoff @sunshinephoto5 @traceyhn @espyetta @darrellburnett - many thanks everyone
Congrats
