Love it! Your low POV makes this a powerful image Karen. Your exposure is perfect and your composition of elements is excellent.

Congratulations on a very fine Finalist. #9378493

Your gallery is always so beautiful, Sister. BP will keep it in tact for you for a while even if you can't see it anymore...Unless they changed their policy. Sure hate to see all these awards disappear. Please come back next year or sooner. We all go through dry seasons so when you get the BUG again please come home. :)

We will miss you here until then.
Love, Lala

P.S. I got my eye on YOU TOO! Lol!!! Watching for your return. xo #10760888

Hi Wm! Fancy meeting you here! I hope you are getting a little better each day? :))) #10761003

Karen Kessler July 10, 2013 0

Thank you, Lala & Wm! I decided to clean out my gallery & BP won't let me delete the ones with awards anyway! :)

I'll try to pop in every now & then. I can leave messages thru BP, too (like anyone can). I know this because years ago before I joined I would get on every now & then to look at the beautiful photos. I would send BP messages to some of the photographers about how much I enjoyed theirs! #10762042

Hello, Karen
It's So Sad Saying Goodbye To Someone You Don't Really Know :)
Had A Bad Fall and Lost The Use Of My Right Arm
Is Last 2 Months Can't Use My Cameras
Or My Computers
Hopefully I Will Be Back On BP Full Time Again Soon :)

Well, Be Good and Prosper
or This That Live Long and Proposer

The Last 2 Months

Wm, I hope you start feeling better & are able to get out on some photo shoots before you go stir crazy!

Yes, it is sad saying goodbye to someone you've never even met. I really struggled with it last night, but feel like it is time for a little break.
