Great tone here. This is one of the best "hands" shots in the challenge.

This is so cool! This will sound goofy but it reminds me of those movies where people are just standing around and waiting to meet aliens lol and the space craft lights are swirling around. Perfect title for this.

Great, Sandy! Precious Photo! Great eyes! Great smile! Great very real kind of personality!

I like who you used selective blurring and torn-edge border to creative a photo from when we were kids. Great Job! :) (I wonder if it would help to set your shutter release on rapid-fire, then start shooting while calling her when her back is turned.

It has worked repeatedly for me. Shanna's not looking. I call her name. She looks! I snap! That's sort of the relationship we have. :)

Yes, he's cute, but I wouldn't want to run into him in the wild. He'd scare the dickens out of me. What a face! Great capture, Sandy.
