I took this photo for one of the challenges.

I ended up donating it to the charity involved, which was cool. But when I asked for a donation receipt for $200, the guy thought I wanted to be paid $200. He agreed to pay me, and then said "As a point of pride (for you), you should know that we've never paid for an unsolicited photo. This one is certainly worth it."

Well, that sure made me feel good! I straightened out the misunderstanding about the money, and I hope to see them make good use of the image soon.

Just wanted to crow a bit, and also to thank all you guys for helping me improve over the last 9 months. A few more decades and I could get pretty good! :lol
