Just won a Third Place ribbon last night in our local camera club's "Ebony & Ivory" exhibit with this photo that I changed to B&W.The exciting part was the judge was Larry Downing who was the White House photographer for 35 years starting in 1978. He has been nominated for several Lifetime Achievement Awards and won twice. He has also had his work published in Reuters, and was the 2012 award winner in the Edward R. Murrow division. Such an exciting honor for me to have this photo chosen by someone so well known in his field!
