Bill and John also enjoyed success in the Midland Salon of International Photography, UK, the results of which were also announced recently.  John had four acceptances in the Open Colour PDI section one of which ‘Walkers’ was awarded a MCFP Ribbon.  Bill enjoyed three acceptances for images in three categories.

Well done to both on their success.  For Bill the results are especially pleasing as he has just begun entering his work in international salons.
