 OMG OMG .. blow me away ..
i'm gobsmacked that this photo did so well considering the amount of entries in the challenge and the votes ..
i wasnt even going to check to see where i came .. thinking i'd be lucky to be in the top 10 ..

it was a real quick shot .. i had asked my grandson Leo if he'd go outside with me and blow bubbles for the challenge .. he knows all about challenges btw .. he was hesitant .. so i had to make it sound fun .. ;)

anyway .. got some bubble photos and he got over it pretty quickly and wanted to play with the football .. he picked it up and seeing i had the camera in my hand already i took a few shots ..
this was my fav as he looks like he's channeling his inner hard-core football player ..

thankyou so much for the lovely comments ..
and the love you gave to this beautiful boy .. :)

Congratulations! This image stood out in the crowd. A portrait he will cherish for the rest of his life. I am so blown away by this portrait. You truly understand not just an image of a person but it should tell something about the person their likes etc. This is so special and a beautiful piece of fine art. 10 and the most well deserved 10! Hats 🎩 off to you, your talent and your eye is unsurpassable.

I love that his eyes look so intense, yet he still looks like he is trying not to smile. There is some mischief there. He is so adorable!

Another amazing portrait, Roz! Congratulations on your ribbon!!

My favorite of the challenge, this is a really god portrait. I love that it tells as story about this kid. He loves football and he is not afraid to get his hands dirty. Most of all the lighting is perfect and if you edited this you did a great job.
