Fourth row Chicago. I knew I was shooting for the challenge that night so I captured a lot of him. Thank you Tris!
Very excited to see how this does, but it doesn't start for 2 more days. sigh...
Blue! Six years and 101 challenges later!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I funny little side-note. I messaged Tris and asked him why there was a mister potato head in all of my pictures (see bottom right). From the message I got from him soon after, he thought I was cracking a joke about his head. That hadn't even crossed my mind. He explained that he had fought with cancer and that no one had ever called him that before. I was mortified that I had insulted him. Needless to say I cleared it up quick, but not before I got my entire office laughing at my indiscretion.

It's funny how some images are just worth going back to over and over. I liked the capture before the edit, I like this edit more and thought it would do well. Since it has been hanging out on the front page I keep giving it another look, and it rewards that attention every time. The ribbon is nice, but this is just one of those shots that works on so many levels that it just gets better on repeated viewings, and that is a very rare thing.
I'm late to the congrats party... but I had this in my first place slot! AMAZEING shot, edit, and OMG there is a Mr Potato head! My only critique is I wasn't sitting beside u!!!! WOW Chicago and a Blue... Life don't get no better!!!!!
A little late but better late than never -Congrats on your first ribbon and PB! This is a fantastic image where composition, lighting, angle, focus, and expression are spot on perfect!
Congrats on the Blue. Wonderful shot and timing with catching the human emotion and personal touch as he faces us pointing towards you. Perfect touch. Wow... your ribbon will be cherished and so special
Huge congratulations, Cynthiann. I gave this a nice score and was going to comment it next - then I got distracted and never got back to any more. Wonderful shot and a well deserved blue.
The Fabulous Tris Imboden
