Mnay thanks. I am especially happy because this is the firts time that i use a family member for the challenge...and I won a top 5!

Thanks. As far as I am concerned, it was a candid shot as i did it between takes. I have this printed and apparently, the teeth is not yellow as some of you commented.

Anyway, Happy New Year to everyone.

CONGRATULATIONS...a winner for me. You sure did know the technicalities. Hoping you of more ribbon to come. I can see a lot coming your way this 2005. I can just feel it. You have the creativity and youthfulness to try them out.

The Short Cut

I like the timing of your shot. The low POV is very thoughtful as it isolates your subject from an otherwise busy background. Must be in the top 3!

Excellent picture...good mood an dthe BW color is so appropriate. Composition is also spot on. The right moment to click the shutter makes this a winner. 10
