My husband Fred & I own Zion Cycles, a bicycle shop in Springdale, Utah - just outside of Zion National Park.
I live, eat, breath, sleep & dream about Photoshop. Sick...I know. 
YES! Yours was definitely the best.
Congratulations on your win on The Pioneer Woman. I have reallly enjoyed looking at your photographs AND admiring your post processing capabilities. Photography is an artform and you do a great job.
Congratulations!!! I saw this photo when you submitted it and followed it to Flickr to see what other beauties you have captured and I have been in complete awe of your work ever since. I then ventured over here to your blog and when I read your post about all the negative comments you had received on PW, I was rather infuriated. That being said, I hope that in winning this assignment you know how much your work is appreciated and that you continue to submit more to future assignments. I am excited and interested in seeing what more you can do! You have been an inspiration to me to get my nose to the grindstone and teach myself Photoshop as well as learn more about and eventually graduate to dabbling with HDR photography and Photomatix. I have a looooong road ahead of me but it’s people like you, who have taught themselves and now create spectacular works of art, that are an encouragement to me that I can do it too:)
Keep up the excellent work and congratulations again!

there ya go! See?
Congratulations!
I hope you keep submitting…I love your stuff!
Regina, I just read your profile on flickr. With all respect, you don’t know what you’re talking about…at least that’s what most of us out “there” would say. You have unbelievable imagination, talent, and a fantastic “eye”.
I would only have to guess that (as a true artist), you have a picture in your head of some kind of perfection or of a few people’s work that you love.
Your whole photostream is incredible and has given me so much joy in seeing it. I’m so glad you WON!!!
You ROCK! Keep up the amazing work and PLEASE keep entering.
Way to go!!!! Well deserved win.
I ran across this shot on your NAPP portfolio and immediately came to your site! This shot is amazing, great composition, processing, everything about it makes it a winner! Congrats!
Way to go!!!! Well deserved win.
All the sour grapes came to naught. Congrats, Regina. Totally deserved
