Deb, this is so CUTE! I thought for sure this would been our buddy ArtROFLMAO's photo. And for woody photos -- that's just about the highest compliment anyone could get, huh? Congratulations on a deserving spot on the front page!

Oh Roz! I'm so sad Katee has had to endure so much! Especially after winning you a blue ribbon! Pooor baby! But what a trooper she was! That's the sign of 100% total trust in her loving owner. I hope she is completely 100% good as new now.

Wow, Roz! Thanks for the link! I'm going to bookmark it and try to learn some new tricks myself. I think this is an excellent photo by the way to show off what you learned. I always love what you do with a photo after the capture. It is something truly amazing to behold!

What a CUTE kid! I mean -- he's not only CUTE physically -- but he looks to have such an impishly cute personality too -- which is a tribute to you for capturing that. I love his dirty little face and sun streaked "little-boy-messy" hair.

But about the physically cute: Wow! His eyes pierce you with a beautiful sparkle!

Wow! This would have made a fabulous lighting entry. The backlighting is flawlessly exposed to give that little branch so much magic! I love that font too! Which one is that?

I think this is one of your best portrait photos. And that's saying alot since you have so many phenomenal photos. The light is so dramatic and beautiful. Congratulations on jumping back in and showing up on the front page :)

Cory! Wow! I am so looking forward to the upcoming months then! This is such a great photo. Photojournalism at its best. This is a perspective on the pressures and "real life" parts of our troops' jobs that we don't often get to see. I can't even begin to tell you and everyone else serving in our military how much I appreciate the work you do!!

Congratulations on an honorable mention. This is such a great addition to your portfolio. Can't wait to see more!
