Interesting angle with the light. The gray background adds some needed balance to the right side of the picture.

Congratulations on your long deserved ribbon! What a beautiful shot. Amazing lighting, perfect tones and contrast. Great DOF and detail. This image tells a beautiful and touching story and illustrates success perfectly. So much for fourth place;) Maybe you'll have to wait a while for that one (After a few blues).

Congrats!, IMHO, Some may or may not like the subject/object but although we're judging the photographers skills, techniques and interpretation. The emotions created and depicted in art and photography, and aimed at/for the viewer, is equally important.

You've captured a warm spot in everyones memory. As always some totally like the blurred shadow of the mother and some don't.

My sons actual first steps, he suddenly jumped up, and with arms stretched up, ran toward his crib in the bedroom. Photographs are treasures, too. - Just-a-Mister-E
