I just won the Grand Prize in the Oregonian Travel Photo contest. I have never won anything larger that a football before! The prize is a 5 night stay in Amsterdam (plus airfare) for two. Here is the photo that won (I submitted it without the title - just the image):
Sorry, but it was taken with an evil SLR.

Title should read "won" not "one". Mods can you fix this for me. I usually know how to spell 3-letter words.

The best camera is one that still works!
Great shot ... congratulations!
I was about to comment that it obviously wasn't a spelling competition!

It was taken the The Painted Hills in Oregon. There are many layered colors there, but this little walk-through area was all red. The colors change a bit throughout the year and over time (or so the signs say). It all depends on what mineral is exposed. The red coloring comes form iron and aluminium.

Congratulations for the win and the beautiful shot. Of course, Nikon helped... 
One word of warning: five days won't be enough... but having your hotel paid for is MORE than enough. Amsterdam is a beautiful town. I wish I could go back...
