POSITIVELY PERFECT, Heidi! :0) #5794713Heidi Brand April 16, 2008
Wow, what a wonderful comments to wake up to this morning.Thank you so much Linda, Anna, Scott, Valeria, Hector, Toni, Jennifer, and Denise.
Toni, I simply took my daughter to the largest puddle I could find and had her stand there. I walked around to find the best possible reflection, and then took a picture of her reflection in the puddle, including just her boots in the water to ground the image and give it a frame of reference. As for editing, I did a very general sort of an edit with a slight boost in curves and colour to bring out the reflection in the puddle. Then I decided to add a texture in a colour burn layer over it, and adjust opacity, just to grunge it up a little.
Jennifer, I am not sure what DDR stands for, but thank you for the compliment.

I'm a bit confused... I just saw this in the EFP area for June... But you won last month with it?? Did you Re-Enter it?? #6094806Renee Lewis June 22, 2008
Yay Heidi!!!! WTG! #6095051Heidi Brand June 23, 2008
Thank you Kara and Renee.Kara, apparently I did enter it again for June not remembering I had entered it for May. I checked the date and it was re-entered on the 6th of June so long before the winners were announced. Hmmm, I wonder if there is a way to take it out of this month's contest? #6096383
Kara L. Hendricks June 23, 2008
Contact BP... I would hate for it to somehow lose it's badge...:)Number is right under the SUBMIT button below..:)
Congrats again...! #6096413
Heidi Brand June 23, 2008
Thank you Kara, I will do that. #6096479Martie Last June 23, 2008
I am so glad you won, or I might have otherwise missed this superb photo! I love the effect you used. This should have been the Grand Prize Winner. Wonderful! #6098981Heidi Brand June 24, 2008
thank you so much for your very kind words Martie. #6100227Heidi Brand June 26, 2008
I have tried contacting BP both by telephone, where I left and message and by email, asking them remove this image from June contest, but so far I have not received a reply from either messages. #6110219Heidi Brand June 27, 2008
I just received the following reply from BP:Thanks for your phonecall. Sorry, we are not able to remove images from the Free Contest - the only way would be to delete the image altogether.
So, I guess I will have to enjoy my badge while it lasts. #6114679

WTG, Heidi--this is a FANTASTIC photo, a well-deserved win, congratulations! I see from the discussion above there was some confusion about whether you'd entered this before, so let me add to it. ;) I thought this was a POTD!? Or, maybe it was the previous image that won POTD. Anyway, congratulations, Heidi!! #6218690
