It was killing me not being able to respond to the comments as they were coming in during the voting, but we all had a good laugh here at home as this is a shot of my son, and not of a girl as many (rightfully) assumed! I keep telling him, "boy, they must all just think you're a pretty homely girl!" and yet he still refuses to get his hair cut.
Anyway, fantastic to have a ribbon, but more fantastic to get all of the great support - thanks guys! I wanted to be able to post the original (unedited) shot here, but I don't see where I would uploaded it.
This was taken as is was getting dark and my shutter speed was way lower than it was suppose to be for the conditions from everything that I had read about panning and yet somehow I managed to pull it off. I wasn't sure if the comments that were referring to it looking staged was because of him looking at me or because of the background and subject looking different.
For anyone interested, when I saw the theme was "Panning" I had no idea what that was, so I started searching the web and came up with this:

Check out J Catlett's work - stunning.
