Great skin tone, I especially like how you got the film of water on the kid without any glare. Librodo?

Actually, when I submitted this shot, I never thought it would ribbon. I need a confirmation and a friend told me it will do well. I showed it to the mother of the girl in the background and she was almost in tears. It must be good, so I said. But the best friend connection is not so strong. Thus, this getting a ribbon is really a big thing for me. Finally, I have one this year. Now I can take a rest for a while and concentrate on my work...

Thanks to you all for voting this high...no 1s and 2s...yeheyyy!!!! Thanks to all those who chose this a s a favorite. I am getting farther and farther from my subjects and including more and more context. Your appreciations are helping me achieve a kind of portrait for me. Thanks everyone.
