This one must be new as I've never seen it before. Just a stunning portrait, Melanie. Beautiful comp, POV, light, color and effect. What a lovely expression on Gunnar's face. He truly is your "Irish Blessing" and it's a true blessing he's made it this far. You go big boy. You bring your Momma such joy. #983830

I took a series a few days ago using different camera settings and liked how this one turned out. I often see this expression from Gunnar, but have never been able to truely capture it with the camera until now ..... Yes, he is my Irish Blessing and you are right again Ann, it is a true blessing he has made it this far - he's had a lot of bumps in the road. He's a brave, sweet boy!


Thank you all very, very much for your comments - they mean a lot to me ! #6342491

Hi Nadya ! Thanks so much - never know what the judges will think, but it's a winner to me already :-))) Could I be a little biased ??? LOL
