Although I really like these images,am a bit puzzled as the idea of the contest was to have a beginning-a middle and an end to the story,this seems to be 3 photos of very similar,can you explain.

Beginning : a drink of vodka in a bowl (they make their own)

Midlle: a delightful sip of vodka

End: the end result....beaming smile

this cycle repeats itself in enjoyment.

groan. would you still love me if I said it is me.....LOL

Can I let you know on that lol

strong stuff this and moreso in b/w where was it

A cremation in Nepal of a 21 year old worker who went to Saudi Arabia to find employment and send money home to help his impoverished family. I cried during the shoot.

I presume this is what you call bricking it

That is a joke I don't understand. I'm not British, I'm from the colonies and we don't use that phrase but I'm willing to expand my vocabulary ...now I have two words: chuffed and bricking it. (what does bricking it mean?)

Bricking it means to be afraid of something I think,i think maybe not the right idiom,just a play on words

ahhh OK I didn't know that...now I have another British word in my lexicon.

Wonderful story, a shame the quality is a little low.

Thank you, I softened it intentionally to counter the dappled effect.

solefull stuff

OH OH OH OH OH OH OH OH.....G R O A N

I can hear you laughing over there at your own jokes.

Not sure if she is lonely or praying for her sins nice photo

Looking at this photo objectively, I see a girl whose facial expression reads more a quiet desperation, lending itself to a feeling on loneliness. She seems to be searching for some meaning, perhaps out of her loneliness. The setting (a graveyard) also portrays loneliness, as she may be praying for a deceased loved one. That is my interpretation.

The image is very fetching. The smooth feeling of the soft focus, and the hardness of the stone gives it a nice balance.
