Thanks, guys, and there actually is a cash prize. Not exactly enough to retire on, but better than I expected.

The 2010 winners have been posted online. This is two years running where Texans have taken the Grand Prize; last year was Mark Mallory from Brenham.

I find it hard to believe I landed the Grand Prize over the First Prize winner...

It looks like a giant soap bubble on top of the cloud. While the other photos are certainly good, I've never a shot like yours before! Good capture and congratulations.
