POTN Powershot Speed Challenge #44 - "Partnerships"

My daugter is getting married in just over a week, and in honour of this upcoming event, I have decided that the theme for this Challenge is "PARTNERSHIPS". Now, I want you to take advantage of the wide-ranging possibilities that this could mean. Be creative, please.

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

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me by PM!

Remember the rules... Title your artwork, and watch for picture sizes (800 pixels, 200kb)!!! All other rules below still apply too.

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

WOW! thanks. I'mfairly new at using my S3IS and was surprised at how good the shot came out. I think it was 90% luck

I really liked Everlasting Partners
