Author, since, unless you have an eye for those little critters, and you can definitely tell the difference between a hamster or a guinea pig and a rat, IMHO you'd rather change your title to R IS FOR RODENT.

IMO, this is stretching the theme ( R is for ), a little too far. IMO.

Photograph anything that starts with the letter "R" in the English language. Plain and simple.

She would fall under the wide range of "Anything" and her Legal name is River which is a word in the English Dictionary so where's the problem? ...

When I was teaching her the alphabet I use to always say R is for River and D is for Daddy and S is for Stephen (her brother) and M is for mommy etc etc .... so ... R is for River~!

... Some of you people are sooo uptight here!

She is very pretty, I notice shes got small eyes.. and It is up to the mods if its on theme or not.

IMO you it is lucky (in this case) you gave your daughter the right name for the contest.

Thanks Eladine .. Yes in this case having named her River worked out ... She's the baby in the family ... we are very proud!

Thanks Nator ... Your support is appreciated!
