Boy,
I had to contact an extra judge this time 
to pick a winner for April 2011's

The theme was:
REFLECTIONS

I loved that entrants used the theme both figuratively and literally..
it made for some wonderful photos entered!

But I digress...

The winner was:

Congratulations Pat H.!!!

Her blog is called: "A View from the Edge".

Your photo had such an etheral quality and was gorgeous.



The first few judges were torn on several of the shots and the two top winners ended up being:

Pat's 
and
Val B.

But, the third and fourth judges made the majority pick as Pat's as the top pick...
Other special mentions (besides Val B.'s) also were:
