1st Place in PDN World In Focus Competition

I'm so excited to share the news that my image entitled "Rising" has received first place in the PDN World In Focus travel photography competition, Outdoor Scenes category! When I entered, I thought the contest might be a bit out of my league, so this unexpected win is a big deal for me! Thank you to the judges, and congratulations to all of the other winners!  This is one of my favorite images from the last year, and I'm so pleased that others are receiving it with such a high level of enthusiasm.
