 not sure if anyone is interested in the stories behind the photos we enter in challenges ..
but i'll go ahead and tell you anyway ..

family had got together for my grandniece Emma's 14th birthday .. food had been eaten and ppl were relaxing around the house .. i was in the kitchen and heard the most angelic sounds coming from the lounge room ..
i went in and there was Georgia playing the harp .. the music was so beautiful that it nearly brought me to tears ..
after i'd got over the emotional impact i wanted to take a photo or two ..
there were people sitting and standing and milling about and getting between me and Georgia ..
but i was able to get this .. :)

after rollover ..
absolutely blown away by the reception this photo received .. thanks everyone who voted and commented .. you have made my week .. xx

I had a feeling this was yours Roz. Your portrait photography is always filled with emotion that is easily felt by the viewer. Congrats.

It was my favorite in the challenge, and as far as I'm concerned, I'm interested in the stories behind the photos.

Stunning pic Roz. She must be a clever cookie to play the harp. What a beautiful instrument.

a fine showing, the vignette works well. (not fond of vignetting as a rule, or so I think,,,)
