I'll try to judge by originality and overall technique. A short text explaining your subject or your shooting conditions is good.

"Father and Daughter"
Canon S3IS
1/60
f3.5
Some editing was done to add more blur to the background as it was a little distracting and to soften my husband's face.

This picture was taken of my husband giving our 22 month old daughter a kiss good night

Again, I had another tough competition to judge, and I thank everyone for their entries.

First Place: beckbear for "Father and Daughter"......you captured a magically moment with clarity. Very nice job.

Second Place: O_T for "Baby Boletes"....while I am not convinced that the focus is right on, I really like the greens and all of the textures.

Third Place: b00ty for "Everlasting Partners"....it is the selective colouring that makes this photo what it is. Nice creativity.

Thanks again for your submissions.

beckbear, I pass the torch on to you for the next competition......

Cheers
