True to form I don't know exatly which one it is. After the last time this happened I instituted a system of careful record keeping of my submissions so I could associate the name I used with Kodak and the exact image submitted under that name. I followed this procedure carefully until this summer. Then I had sort of a slump and no submissions for months. When the slump broke, I had a 3 I liked well enough to submit all in the same day, and I figured I'd remember for sure. But my 50+ year old memory isn't good enough to work on this sort of thing without notes.

Anyway, the title I used was "Surf Contest Start" and the mot likely shot is this:

31269411-L.jpg

(Man, talk about aiming high!)

But it might be this:

31269468-L.jpg

It actually really surprised me that this was chosen. On the same day, I shot and entered this:

31373506-L.jpg

which I personally like tons more. Goes to show how little I know about judging my own work.
If not now, when?

    I guess we will have to wait until September 17th to find out which one it is. Either way--congradulations.

    Only one, and I'm pretty sure it's the first one.

    Congratulations Rutt, No matter which one it is, a well deserved honor. I know how you feel about memory. I submitted several as well and when I was contacted recently I completly forgot wjhich one they were referring to. Thank God they let me know. Congratulations once again!
