Dear Wikimedians,
The Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year 2006 competition is now over, and the winner has been selected. Thank you for voting. Of the 662 Wikimedians who voted, 83 selected 'Aurora Borealis' [1] as the 'Wikimedia Commons Picture of 2006'.
Second was 'Sans Domicile Fixe' [2] with 78 votes and joint third were 'Blue Jay' [3] and 'Hoverflies mating in midair' [4] with 70 votes each. We congratulate the authors of these pictures for their exceptional quality. The full results are available on [5]
Some user comments: * ''Fantastic! Love the earth.'' * ''Crazy. Wish I could vote for them all.'' * ''If I had to pic one thing I'd like to see, I'd go with that. Stunning.''
We are also proud to announce the release of an archive of all the 2006 Wikimedia Commons Featured Pictures. You can find more information on [6].
Thank you all for voting, The Commons Community

Has anyone attempted to contact the photographer, Joshua Strang? He probably didn't even know it was on Commons; he might be interested to know it was voted picture of the year.
