A few months ago, you might recall the "Calendar" challenge. I totally misinterpreted the challenge, an entered an image that kicked off a whole month of sub-5 scores. When I realized what I should have done for the challenge, I posted this image to my portfolio
which I titled "Absolute Regret" as a lament for not having entered it for the challenge.
To a large degree, I've turned things around. I'm not quite where I want to be challenge-wise, but I'm getting there.
I don't know exactly how this came to be, but what I'm about to share with you goes to show that DPC is about much, much, much more than challenge scoring. When I was approached about this, I was somewhat amazed. When I saw what was done, I was absolutely stunned. Words will never express what this means to me. Thank you, Lesley.

First, I think it is a fabulous picture that could never come into it's own right in an open forum like this... not trying to be funny or negative. Secondly, Lesley is a master who did justice to your photo.. How lucky can one be.

| Wow! What a wonderful gift! Someone did that for me once- I've got a framed pastel drawing of one of my photos hanging on the wall. It really is touching that anyone would go to all that trouble out of pure kindness. |

If you check Lesley's profile and follow her links, you'll be even more stunned at observing her true talents.

| That's so cool! I've been using photography to inspire my own art for years so I can see the inspiration behind her painting. Good for you! It must be a great feeling to know you've inspired someone else :) |
