oh my word!

A big thank you to the commenter - 'Grammy Carol' - for encouraging me to go ahead and enter my photo of Lilah's sassy face at 'i heart faces' this week - see post below. Out of 742 entries it placed in the top ten - #6 to be exact!

I'm feeling a tad exhilarated!

I entered it through my flickr photo stream - you can see it here.

Congratulations!!! But I'm not one bit surprised that this photo was in the top ten. You're a fantastic photographer, and Lilah, well you couldn't ask for better subject. She's so cute and her personality just shines right through the lens.

I rejoice for you!

Intuitively, you knew it was a strong shot as you featured it that day. Your instincts are solid, your talent accomplished, your subject exquisite. Go with your gut.

Lilah's a natural beauty and one's knee-jerk response would be to put forth one of her many beauty shots, but look through the hundreds of entries you beat out, that's what everyone offers up for competition.

Your photo was unique, charming, with the element of surprise. Most of all, it told a story.

So very happy.
