this is a good capture, nice dof. but there is no emphasis on the bg, as per the guidelines.

Great shot !

thx for comments

Beautiful

Lovely child, where did she go?

6 years ago she passed away from a rare from of strep. It took the lives of two children that year and hospitalized around 10.

what a bittersweet image. a lovely capture, and a beautiful child. i'm sorry for your loss. its heartwrenching to think of the sadness of loosing a child. i can't help but to want to send you huge hugs through the virtual world.

My thoughts are with you and your little angel

Thank you to everyone for their thoughts and prayers... It means a lot to myself and my family.

This was not actually as high in contrast as it shows here. I wish I could show everyone how the lighting was oh so perfect in print but I don't have this on disc so you get the idea.

Good work author

Wow! What is this the chess equivalent of doing quarter shots? Everytime you kill a guy you get a shot?

Yeppers! Gotta incorperate drinking in as many games as possible!

Sounds like a great idea to me. Great shot BTW. GL!

Thank you for the compliments! I was begining to wonder if this is just a crappy pic cause there's 50000000000000 views and hardly any votes. LOL

I hate that. Or you get 1000 votes and no comments. Realy it's a good photo because it has depth and balance and really original game entry. I think you should place at this point so once again good luck!

Well I wish there were more entries so that if I were to place somehow that I would feel more accomplished

Keep in mind this is also a beginner's contest. Trust me, several of us probably wanted to enter.

I understand but it still would be nice to have an entry that placed in a big entry contest if I do even place. I'll keep trying though! That's one thing I like about here is all the help, the friends and the different groups that where "everyone" can play or "specific levels" can play. But you say Beginner but it's only beginner on the site not necessarily in photography which does fit me though

Those are my kind of games Nice DOF, good luck author!

Told ya you were going to place. Congrats!

Congrats for getting 2nd and 3rd.

Very nice shot. Nice bokeh and a very good idea too! Well done!

Unfortunately I have to agree with locksmagic - you need to change two of the entries, as they are too similar.

Nice entry! GL!
