The Ludwig Cruwell - Gunther Angern KC ceremony photo is mine (2nd in).  I don't know where you got a photo of it without  watermark, but don't appreciate it posted without one. As a matter of fact I am trying to sell this photo, and it's things like this that draw people away from wanting to purchase it.
