During the flora challenge I had several comments about why the sunglasses on this photo...

//www.dpchallenge.com/image.php?IMAGE_ID=18852

Its rather amusing as to why. I was out in my yard down on my hands and knees taking macros of flowers that were blooming, mostly tulips trying to get something anything I could use for the challenge, when my little boy says to me "For You Mommy" I looked up and there he was holding a dandelion. Still in macro I took the shot with the intentions of cropping him out of the photo if it worked.

Well when I downloaded the photo and saw it. It just screamed to resize it and use it just as it was, sunglasses and all. So the sunglasses were just there and in reality that photo was really nothing more than a snapshot that was one of those one in a million snapshots.

Now does anyone know how I can submit it to a greeting card company for consideration?

You'll also find your model will need various disguises, or your photos will be found out during the challenges, as I have found out...

LOL ain't that the truth, and it doesn't help that Dad also participates in the challenges. We never know what each other is going to submit and I have a feeling sometime in the near future we will both have the same subject in a challenge.

We tried this when Isaac's account was suspended for a while as they worked out the waiver thing.

Terry, can I have a copy of that photo for my photo class? I am struggling with my photo assignment showing action. I have come to a conclusion that the DiMage just doesn't like time delayed shutter speeds.
