Thanks to everyone who worked so hard to make this show happen, and to everyone who entered. There were so many beautiful entries! All of the judges commented how much fun they had judging such a beautiful show, and how hard it was to actually choose winners. In the end, after discussion, lively debate, and balloting, consensus was reached, and the following were the winners of the 2009 Palm Springs International Rose Photography Show. Congratulations!
