Taking pictures of the picture takers

Last night we had a great time at the Photographers' Reception at the Del Mar Fair (Diego County Fair) where we could see Patricia's and Tom's pictures displayed.
To top it all off, both got awards: Patricia got 2 Honorable Mention for her beautiful photos, and Tom got first price with his stunning picture of a beetle.
Here are the happy photographers.

Here is a quick video on how some of the judging is done.  After the experts
have their say, the viewers put a piece of paper on the picture they like, and those are then counted.
