 the quote from Rumi .. "the wound is the place where the light enters you" .. is one that has great meaning in my life ..

anyway ..
i had taken photos of Georgia for the growth challenge and felt i could use one of the pics i took of her for this challenge too ..

really struggled with the title ..

wanted something really punchy and original .. but everything I thought of seemed lame ..

it might hit me 5 mins after it goes in for voting ..!!.. ;)

after rollover ..
this was sitting over 8 for most of the voting .. was amazing .. in the last couple of hours I might have got a 6 and a 7 .. both reasonable votes .. but when you're flying high over 8 a reasonable vote will bring you down ..
in the score ..
not in my extreme happiness that i was in the high 7's .. and that this ended up fourth on my profile page .. move over insects Georgia is in the house ..!!..
thankyou so much for giving this image so much love ..xx..

ps .. thankyou so much for the wonderful comments on this image .. i'm sure the sentiments in it would resonate with many ppl ..

if anyone is interested .. this is the original photo SOOC that i used to create it ..

Roz, This is beautiful and yes, absolutely stunning, I agree with Neat.
Such a beautiful girl and the way you shot her and edited this image is amazing. But thats not all the text and your choice of font, color of the font blend so well with the way you edited the image. Truly a huge "WOW" image.
A well deserved Blue Ribbon. CONGRATULATIONS

Wow! I am blown away by your skill and and heartfelt creativity. There was no doubt you were going to get the Blue. I am surprised there were any votes below an 8! Congratulations.

Looks like you didn't need my vote. What a great score.

Moving, and touching! Love all the font!
