 I've been brainstorming for this challenge during the whole week. This morning I saw the book offered with a newspaper some months ago in my bookshelf and got the idea. A message for youth and children, for a better world without borders nor countries. Children are our hope, and Giovanni Paolo II left this strong message.

The picture was taken on a desk and lit by natural light coming from a north facing window. The most difficult part was convincing my young girl (2 and half) not to move her hands for 3 whole seconds (I took it over ten times).

I believe the image has to have some element of "celebration" in it without the Title

I like your concept. There's something about the yellow-orange light cast that doesn't quite work for me, but again, I like your idea of celebration.

came back to this photo, because it's hard for me to say something about it. I do like the colors and the idea, but maybe it isn't celebration for me..

the slight crop of the corner is a bit distracting. However, the golden tint that this image has is quite pleasing and seems to fit the title and story of your image :) Great!
