I must declare Peterb533 and 'Mother and child' the WINNER. It was the orange back lighting with fall off that did it for me. At a glance it all seems so real, warm and loving.

WELL DONE

Other favorites were - all the rest. Jad I really like your sweet spot and the way the sun is peeping. Rachel - great lighting. Scott, I love the trouble you have gone to shooting thru the paper, it give a great textural feel to the image. Joby, so sharp around the ears and a brown silhouette, very good. Rick, What is that object - I love the riotous colour in the background - very effective.

Thanks to all that participated, not the best number but great entries and a challenge to judge.


Peter, up to you to choose the next topic and winner. Good Luck to all.

In high school a boy welded this figurine in shop class for me. I have always cherished it.
