Pleased that my one entry into the American Photography Open has been one of 50 photos short-listed for the grand prize.  As the first entry into this competition was free, I decided to just enter the one photo, choosing one of my personal favorites "Winter Wonderland".  The first prize is actually going to be chosen by "likes" in Facebook, which means I have zero chance of winning as many photographers are better at managing their social media presence than I am (haha).  Voting is open on the American Photography Open facebook page until October 1.
