I did not fully realize I was entered into a competition and then I ended up winning! That was nice after I got past about 10 minutes of confusion about the contest… and then I think I remembered, but not as well as I did 10 years ago.
But I do remember this shot – it was a lone swan on a lake in the famous Stanley Park of Vancouver. I shot this when I went up there to speak at the Canadian Cato Institute to a bunch of Libertarians about online gaming economies being their last great hope.

It’s a great shot, Trey.
We chose your Vancouver Swan as the winner, as it best portrays the intersection of nature and man which is Vancouver. The soft blue colours also reflect the cool easy going tones of Vancouver.
Interestingly enough, I didn’t know about your website when we judged the contest. It’s incredible, the shots you have posted here!
Wow, awesome shot! Congratulations!
