Being the youngest of six children the photo tugged at my heart. I loved the composition and the color tone, but most importantly I loved the little smiles of the two boys on the left, like they have a little secret. I think the photo speaks of another gift, and that is one of stress-free, hanging out, just being a kid kind of feeling. Family is a gift and I believe she captured that feeling. #3

It was creative and simple as a gift to her, but as full of love as any gift could be. My late father learned calligraphy in his later years and i have a copy of Desiderata framed and hanging on my wall that he did for me..I totally relate to this image.. Love the sepia tone and shallow dof..really wonderful shot! #1 is my vote…I just love how she shows off this special gift from her father.

Oh my goodness, I am humbled and embarrassed at the same time! I have no idea how I missed this thread at the time, 6 month ago... but thank you SO much for choosing my photo as a finalist photo. As they say, "it's an honor just to be nominated." I came across this tonight while following a referral from here on my blog, and was so pleasantly shocked! If you ever emailed me to say I was selected, I never received it! I'm so sorry about that. Thank you again for your kindness. You are truly one of the good ones out there. Your ability to inspire and connect through this blog is a gift. Thank you for all you do.Best, Michelle (#4, f2.8)P.S. And yes, I did indeed shoot it at 2.8! Me Ra!
