Crikey, Shez!! That is spectacular! I agree with the others - best macros yet and would make a fine print!

Such an intense and outstanding image, Shez.
Now one can understanding so much going on there, as we read its behind the scenes story.
Who cares about the challenge? You've got the real "blue ribbons" right there with you, and that's what matters in life.
God bless you all!!!

I love it Sherryl. This is definately a treasure photograph!! Maybe its better that it wasn't in the challenge because if it got a lower score than it deserved you would be dissapointed. This way it will always and forever be your blue ribbon!!
Your friend.

You know with a portrait like this for your family album - you are already a winner! WOW!

This is SO PRECIOUS - I only hope there comes a time when I can capture such a moment between my son and my husband.

Peace and blessings to you during your VERY trying time.

I can see how this shot would be very personal. You have it now for yourself to enjoy, In a way it could be for the best that it didn't go in to the challenge - how would you know what score you would expect for it? Sometimes it's best not to assign a number. :)

Your kids are the same ages as mine, only I have two girls. Wonderful shot, even though they didn't want you to take it. It will turn out to be a treasured photo for years to come.
Keep thinking positive thoughts and I'll keep you in my prayers.
Everyone has a cross to bear. There was a reason that you entered this one in the wrong challenge. It will be viewed by WAY more people this way than in a challenge.
I give it a 10!

Nice job. In restrospect, you have effectively branded your images. So now when I see a dog shot like this I can say, Hey Thats a Sherpet. These have been great to view.
