  This is absolutely beautiful. It's so simple but I feel like there is so much complexity and emotion oozing from the frame.

  Wonderful image, Richard - one of my favorites both because it speaks to me on an emotional level and because it warms my heart to think how special this image must be to you and your family. Congratulations on the finalist and good luck in the next round.
