This is the first in a series of my daughter taken yesterday. Thank you so much to all my friends who have offered support and kindness to my family and myself following her terrible accident. There are still a few problems but she's doing better than we dared hope.

  Really nice shot Alexis, great use of perspective and light, lack of yesterday. Super use of the trains during a gray weekend.

  WOW,Alexis!!! So this is your daughter who was in the accident? I read all the comments so I gathered that this is her. She looks so strong & confident here but I imagine she has a ways to go for full recovery. With the attitude portrayed here I am sure she is a fighter.
Exceptional lighting, tones, detail, comp, & setting!!! Outstanding work here, Alexis!!!
I continue to pray for a wonderful recovery- this must be a trying time for all of you but faith does wonderful things,Alexis.Patrick

  Great perspective Alexis. I am sorry to hear that she was in an accident and this is the first I heard about it. It is good to hear that she is recovering well and hopefully it will all soon just be a bad memory.
