| A beautiful image and tribute to adversity, turning him towards the sun might have helped but either way a great image, I've worked with kids with multiple-handicaps and syndromes for years and this touches my heart deeply. Regardless of what life offers they are children first, well done. |

| Grats on the red and on a wonderful image. Really felt this showed 'triumph' more than any other image in the challenge, and well shot too. |

I appreciate the sintement jonnienye, but I must say that I think Jeff's shot was well deserving and still number 1 in my mind. The date stamp on his shot was a technicality and I realize that rule has to be hard and fast but that shouldn't take away from his accomplishment.

im glad this image was bumped up to second,should be first,i mean a hummingbird shot?! come on....the name of the challenge was "triumph"...this image is way more deserving,it totally conveys a triumph in my book (no offense to the bird guy,that was a great image,it just didnt meet the challenge imho) the way i see it a photo should tell the story,yours does. he(the bird guy) had to convince the voters that his photo was some sort of personal triumph (wasnt everyones? i mean we all thought our photos good enuff to enter in a challenge didnt we)sorry for the rant,thanx for the wonderful image of triumph.jmn

Just took a look at your other images too and I have to say there are a lot of parents in your situation that would tell the child that they can't do things. I can tell you aren't one of those parents and you should be highly commended for it. Sure the child has some limitations but too quickly people will become over protective and not allow the child to even think for himself let alone go in a tree house (I know you will have your limits, such as on top of the car, but everyone has limits).
Our church once had a women vist that suffered from this same condition (brittle bone?). She and her husband have been doing missionary work in different countries despite the fact that she was in a wheelchair and had had almost every bone in her body broken several times over. She was amazing and it's because she was given the chance to do it, instead of being told she couldn't.
Kudos to you and your family and God bless. |

Jason, I'm delighted that this shot finished in the ribbons. It's a tribute to both Andrew and the rest of your family that he comes across so positively in these shots and looks so full of life.
p.s. I've just read the right up and see that in this case it was actually his brother that posed - but that changes nothing. It's a great shot, and your other shot's of Andrew show a happy boy.
Well done to all of you and I hope his tests in December go well. |

I have three boys and my youngest broke his leg earlier this year. I hated seeing him in pain, and I can't imagine having a child going through it multiple times. I will add Andrew to our prayer list and I wish him and your family well...
God Bless!

| With no apparent display of triumph or success, this shot comes across as pure exploitation of a kid in a wheelchair. Will it do well? I imagine so. Even has a sunset for bonus points. But what's it have to do with anything? |
