Last minute entry. Couldn't round up anyone else, so I grabbed my tiny teddy and read him one of my favorite stories. No time for strobes, this is natural light.

LOL! So I'm all sad about the score, and all puffed up from the flattery. Thank you all for your kind and complimentary words. Makes a gal feel great. Lydia, will be flying east for Thanksgiving!!!

Holy smokes, Johanna - I didn't recognize you here either. Maybe cuz your foot or ankle's not in the frame. ;-) You look fantastic and the lighting here really brings it. Scores schmores. You were getting spoiled anyway. :P

ps: I gave it an 8, but I am bumping it to a 10 now. ;-)

What a charming shot! It makes me smile.
On a technical note, I think the arm on the right side of the photo detracts from the picture - you might try cropping the shot just to the left of where the skin on your arm becomes visible.

Darling set-up with excellent lighting and the expressions are perfect. You look as if you are really into reading this "I think I can, I think I can . . . " and the bear looks quite interested though I'm not sure he's looking at the pictures LOL
