Heading To The Show

Description

I recently entered this photograph in a competition where as if it placed high enough and you paid a small entry fee it would be exhibited in an exhibition at the New Movement Gallery in Belgrade, Serbia. Well to my surprise it placed in the top 10% and will be exhibited this weekend, starting today. I am not telling you this to brag (well maybe a little:-)), but to thank you all, because without all your incredible encouragement over the last few years I would have never had the confidence to even enter a competition like this and I have also learned so much from viewing all the magnificent work of you all. So thank you all so much!!!
