Love the tones and POV leading right up to that little girl Valarie. Maybe Thomas Kincaid would be interested in this to paint - for a price of course!

Oh boy...we'll see this again my friend!!! Simply breathtaking Val!! It pulls you right in and I love the effects too. I don't think the little girl was actually there...I think you were sipping something!! ;-) Oh did I say sipping? I meant gulping....

If only you could see my face right now, there would be no need for me to type here, Valarie. This is the most beautiful, outstanding "Secret Garden" like photo I've ever seen. It now takes the place of the last one that had such a moniker; it, too, was yours. I'm not going to type anymore; just one word: perfect. P.S. That was NOT a little girl, Val. da-da da-dum, da-da da-dum [TZ theme.]

I just wanted to say that I'm surprised this didn't make a finalist this month. This was probably my favorite capture I saw all last month and really wanted to see it not only get a finalist, but get a gold. I'd consider a re-submit because 15 of us can't be wrong, right? Have a wonderful day and happy shooting Val. :) Tommy
