 Wow! So unexpected... Thank you all!

I really thought it wouldn't ribbon at all, since my score kept falling during the week... Moreover, I almost didn't enter it at all! Thanks to my team mates who convinced me it was a worthy shot.

Finally, a special thanks to my favorite model, who kindly posed despite the fact she was very tired.
