  Wow. I'd make this a winner in TONS of categories! So far it's a favorite. Since I'm not involved in PG 101, I thankfully do not have to vote!

  Excellent! What a country old-time flavor you've accomplished here, Michele, with the use of the sepia, your perfect model, the period clothes and of course, your posed choice of a boy at his favorite fishing hole - you've captured the charm of "Tom" perfectly - I expect Huckleberry to "plop" down beside him any minute! :) Wonderful work!

  Is this not Tom Sawyer? Looks authentic to me. My fave of your July entries... and this is so masterfully done. The comp, the costume, the mood, the charm. All perfectly captured -- and the sepia just makes this come alive. A winner in my book, Michele. Plus, congrats on your 101 theme win too. Love it.
