[Noahf]

Ihsh-299 workshirt. Was at Yosemite Valley for sunrise this morning and it was -9c. My upper body was warm but my feet were frozen after waiting for the sun for an hour.

@Noahf  Man, that's so beautiful! Was Bridalveil Fall frozen?

[Noahf]

No it was flowing. There was a lil wind soo it appeared to be almost “misty” half way down from where we were. Was a good morning

True, thanks @neph93 and @jordanscollected for putting this together!

After quite a bit of deliberation and discussion @Giles @Alex @jordanscollected and myself have arrived at a conclusion.

The awards for best pic and best portfolio were especially difficult and there were a number of contenders for each.

Here is our final decision:

1. Best portfolio - @weftyarn

True to the theme, varied original content and motifs, all round excellent effort

2. Best individual pic - @mitchellvilla

For this insanely cool shot:

3. Funniest pic - @Kasi

For this:

Congratulations gents!

Thanks to everyone who took part. This was mostly about getting to know each other a little better, and that has been achieved by all you good folks in quite some style. This is a wonderful thread for the ages.

[Kasi]

Thanks everyone….  It was fun.
