POTN G-Series Speed Challenge #2 - Joy
Joy seems to be an appropriate challenge this time, after seeing the reaction of my son when his image won the first challenge. The entry that best conveys the theme Joy will win first place. Of course, composition, subject, emotional content, expression and all those factors will come into play here.
This is a continuation of the parameters set by Don in the initial challenge - all his rules are in effect here.
Please read the rules and avoid odd sizes, borders, more than one photo, etc.
To submit, click Post Reply and put your Photo Name in the Subject Line. Don't forget your Camera Model.
Post until Sunday midnight GMT, 20 February 2005.
Good luck,
Pio (aka BottomBracket)

I am posting this early so that all of you can get a head start on the challenge. The theme is vague enough to encompass a whole range of photographic possibilities, so let's get those creative juices flowing! Allez Photo!

Addendum - Though the photo must be able to stand alone on its own merits, it would be great if you can post the story behind it (if there is one). Good luck!
