2016 Nature's Best Photography Windland Smith Rice International Awards Ceremony

As a winner of the 2016 Audubon Photography Contest, I was invited to an awards ceremony at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History in Washington DC. My winning image "Eared Grebes" will be on display at the Museum until November 2017. Millions of people will see this exhibit and hopefully the beautiful imagery will inspire an appreciation for our earthly treasures and the need for conservation; I am very proud to participate to this end.
