I know, I was 4th in the first and really thought I deserved better, even the one of the people who placed said mine ought to have been ahead of theirs. But hey ho - people like what they like

Thank you. #4 is always tough. The angle was needed get enough close-up without losing the dragon completely.

Congrats on 4th. Could oh so easily ended top 3. Loved the view angle and style

I don't think I deserve better; it's just the spot #4. I feel better in #5 to 10.

It is a bit of an awkward feeling - so close but no cigar
