Barbara, Pom, Ujjwal, Antonio, Marijana, Stef, Bobby, Tammy, and Ann, thanks for your Congrats. I really appreciate them!Pom, my husband must be part of the celebration. He has dutifully joined me every 4th of July outside, as I snapped at neighborhood fireworks. He probably never expected to see one of the fireworks shots be good enough for any award. This year, we both were really pleased when this image turned out well. I'm so happy that the bp judges agreed! Thanks, one and all!
