Title: Won a challenge

I've submitted this image at a "health challenge" organized at my workplace

The challenge was to show and tell what you do to stay healthy, in this case  I said photography helps my mental health
Winners are selected by the number of "likes"

Ended up winning and I got $150 dollars

I'll use this towards a new camera bag, mine is coming apart  ;D

Congratulations! Winning something always cheers one up.

You have managed to combine foreground (which probably received additional illumination during the exposure) in an excellent manner with the starry heavens and Milky Way. Good workmanship indeed.

For some reason, I thought you were a wine maker...
Isn't that enough to stay healthy?

Congratulations!

I didn't know what to say other than congratulations.

Looking at the image again, I'm interested in the horizontal symmetry created by the countless stars in the sky and the contless sand particles on the shore.  And you are the essential element connecting the universe and the real world.  Very dramatic!
