Nicole...your pictures are amazing. Looks like you have no problem at all getting into second place. Something I have not experience as of yet. You have a marvelous talent. Your portraits are wonderful. Have to say something special about the baseball photo too..as I am an old time baseball fan from way back. Congratulations on your OUTSTANDING finalist and work! :) #3399972
