You obviously don't have children. There is nothing weird or sick about it. There is a special love that comes with being a parent and this photographer has managed to capture the beauty of it.
I gave it a 10 during the challenge and am very excited that it won! Congrats on the WIN! A WONDERFUL PHOTO! |

| I am about to be a new father of a baby girl. I see how my fiance loves her other three children. You have, in my opinion, managed to capture a mother's love as is possible with a camera lens. I would love to know how you captured this shot. |

Oh my goodness!! I didn't take offense at all! Certainly I knew that the comments about makeup were more to the "societal" issue than the personal one! I understand your thoughts/feelings on this as my husband feels the same way. He would love to see all women look beautifully natural.
I really appreciate all the comments! |

This is so pretty and so artfully done even if some artsy people think it is too much or a sad statement. What we should strive for meritocracy in our photography? Please; this is, as I said, one of the most perfect B&W pictures I have ever seen on DPC. It is obvious you deserved the blue.

Thanks for the votes, and for the great comments that kept my hopes for a good score alive all week.
There were a couple of comments about her makeup, which made me kind of laugh. I daresay that most women who were going to have a shot like this done, that they planned on hanging on their wall and looking at for the rest of their lives, would want to wear a little makeup!
In reality, all she had on was a little bit of eye makeup, and some lipstick. This woman has the most perfect skin I have ever seen, and is absolutely gorgeous, and obviously, is a wonderful model. |
