Thanks Jim.  I see by the number I inadvertently included a shot my 
father-in-law took, and that is the one you liked.  I have an identical 
shot, as he was standing right next to me, but I clicked on the wrong one. 
I will tell him that you liked his shot.

The first one is my favorite, Aram, but all of them are beautiful.  I
shot an event like this many years ago, using film. You did much better
with the capabilities of modern digital technology.
