this is INSANELY good .. not just as an editing masterpiece but as an image that totally fits the challenge ..
i was interested reading your notes about being a parent .. not every parent struggles over the impact of this world on their children .. as they accept what is going on often without argument almost .. going with the flow .
just because everyone does it doesnt make it right is something i consider a lot of the time .
anyway .. you are very aware of being a wonderful role model for your children and also conscious of the affect this world will have on them if 'unchecked' .. they are in the best environment they could ever have .. with you and your wife ..
many congratulations on the blue . but also on the highest score in DPC .. i feel that it was only a matter of time until you achieved it .. :)
