Thank you everyone for your kind feedback! Christine: No, the people are not placed by me - they sat in these positions. I spent quite some time on location, waited for people to sit in "suitable" positions and shot lots of pictures. #9493692

You see things like no other, Katarina. Amazing eye and compositions. Huge congrats, again, on your Photoflash feature. WTG, girl. #9510601

Kathryn Wesserling 7/6/2011 6:46:26 AM

From the Thumbnail in #99, I thought these were sledders coming down a hill. I couldn't figure out how you got the "ROT" graphing from your camera to display as part of your picture. The comments led me to open it up.

The resulting picture was worth the time and effort you put into it. The Gold is truly deserved. #9510808

Datha Y. Thompson 7/6/2011 8:05:46 AM
