Well done 'chopper'! Your photo was certainly a gem amongst a treasure trove of fantastic pictures. You've won the 2009 cup!
I'd better go and run the randomiser on people who voted for this photo to select a random voter to win the second 2009 cup.

I'm astounded to have taken out the photo of the year with so many fantastic images! Thankyou very much, I shall treasure the mug. I really liked “Sunset on PB” and anybody on top of PB at sunset is serious about their outdoor pursuits. I was surprised that my other favourite “Dawn over Long Tarn” didn't receive more votes as it's a remarkable, subtle and yet powerfully evocative image. Congratulations to all the other finalists.
A bit of background about my image. It was taken on a beautiful evening at High Moor, Western Arthurs after 3 days of being punished by wind and rain. I had to dry my wet camera out in the sun that afternoon before taking any photos as it was wet through along with everything else I was carrying. Photo was taken on a Nikon D60, 35mm F1.8 at F9, slow shutter speed balanced on a pile of rocks using the timer. In Lightroom I straightened it up, added a graduated filter to darken the top third to bring out the subtly of the evening colour and formatted the crop to a landscape aspect ratio.
I hope to get down to Tasmania this year but might have to be satisfied with entering the Australian Monthly competition, although it’s hard to match it with the Tasmanian entries - you have a natural advantage! I’ve celebrated by upgrading to a Nikon D700 but it might just be that the portability and simplicity of the D60 was the key, only time will tell.
Thanks again.
