This is a sweet picture. It does seem to be more about the baby than hands. Being able to see the woman's hand is an afterthought.

This is neat. I have a Bernina sewing machine, too. They are the best.

This is so lovely, Bear. So close to a ribbon - I'm shocked how much the score changed at the rollover. Your sunrise/sunset pictures are always hauntingly lovely. I'd love to go on a photo outing with you to see how you set up and then most especially, I'd love to watch you edit your pictures so I could learn some of your outstanding editing skills!

Congratulations, Gary on Another(!!!) ribbon! Wow, I can't believe I managed to do a bit better than you to get the Blue - your picture is so professional and almost perfect. I did notice that the guy has his wings on upside down - otherwise; the lighting, the composition, everything is perfect. Someday, I hope my ribbon winning ability is as consistant as yours and doesn't depend so much on luck but rather on skill as yours does. Wondering what score you were getting really made this challenge interesting and nerve wracking for me as I read in the threads you were doing well enough to replace one of the high scoring pictures on your profile page.
