I was out of town when voting took place for this challenge, I wish I had been here though.

This is a beautiful photo and for me the border brings the focus inwards, which leads to her wonderful expression. That and I don't think of it as a border really, more like matting for the photo. ;)

After two years of submitting and voting on challenges, I have found it increasingly difficult to get excited by an image (my own included)as the senses seem to dull with the repetition.
However, every now and then a picture crops up which stirs things back into life.
This one does it for me.
I love everything about it..it`s fresh and vibrant and suits the toning effect very well.
My favourite from the challenge.

Congratulations.

This was one of my favourites, and I gave it a 10. Congratulations!

Out of the three challenge winners this is the only one that meets the requirement of using DOF to isolate the subject. Goes to show how well the voters read the challenge rules...
