I wouldn't say photo contest winner gorgeous, but pretty darned good for someone w/o a clue on how to take pictures and uses a little Canon SD1200 in hot pink, doncha think. :D :D :D I love telling people the kind of camera I use after they see the pictures.. most people don't believe that good pictures can come from those little compact camera and you have to have a DSLR camera in order to take beautiful shots. :P~~~~
