I want to thank everyone who submitted photos for this contest, those who voted in the preliminary and final rounds, and those who simply took the time to enjoy the images submitted by our very talented photographers.

urbanhermit is awarded the grand prize of hosting the next monthly photo contest. This will be July's contest, as the Spring seasonal contest will take the place of the June monthly contest.

4. Many thanks, Adsos Letter

From my perspective as an entrant the contest was seamlessly and efficiently run. Great job!

For anyone who may be interested, my entry, Tuscan Picnic was shot with my Nexus 9p phone with no cropping, manipulation, photoshop etc.

If you ever find yourself near Montepulciano, Italy, you must go to the place where the photo was taken:

12. Thank you!

It was a surprise logging in today to find out I had won as I had been offline since Friday. There were many spectacular entries and I'm surprised I got the most votes. I had taken the photo when it was part of a hotel, I noticed that it is now a stand alone restaurant called Beet and Basil in Sandpoint, ID. I can't vouch for the food but the place looks amazing from the outside. I look forward to hosting the July contest.
