I'm wondering how much they charged you for the girl in the basket. Sometimes I wish we had a second child. LOL

Interesting that you framed it with the trees and limbs. I like it although it seems a bit grainy. Yeah I know its a snapshot side challenge! LOL I'm just saying I like it well enough that without the noise its an outstanding photo.

This appears to have fake plastic skin. A bit over done on the PP I think.

One thing to remember when shooting for publication/sales/parents not a single one of them cares about the uniform. Its the person that is in the uniform that matters to them. Expose for the faces and let the highlights on the pants end where they may. I probably could have brought them back a little, but really why? Now if I'm shooting an advert for the manu of the uniform I can see worrying about that, but really If I'm doing that they better let me light it how I want and I don't have to compromise. :D

Were you being profetic seeing that it wouldn't be his only ribbon for long because you knew it would be DQed or because they have talent and will be getting more?

I have to admit, when I saw this image I was blown away that it was on the front page. With how picky and anal the voters are, to put this image on the front page with the distraction in the background just boggles my mind. The model is beautiful, it has great lighting on her, but that background literally kills what could have been a really great image. Congrats on the ribbon.
