nice shot....

great composition

awesome shot! You really can feel the joy on this one. I reccommend everyone visit this contest when they have a bad day. Something must put a smile on your face for sure!

This is JUST contrast adjustment?

seriously you are so talented!! Great at photos and drawings!!!

oh wow!! This is gorgeous!!!!! you must do some drawings for me as well!
I would stick with the dogs too but I don't like them, I 'll stick to cats! ha

Super Fantastic!! This would make a great tatoo!! Great job, author!

Like the idea. Very star wars. Agree the reflector takes away from the image.

It's definitely inspiring GL!

and just remember I comment before I vote, ok?

This would have been a lot better entry if you used different lighting other than the flash.

Beautiful as is the author

nice work, g.l.

author,she is so beautiful and heart necklace fits perfectly on her delicate neck...well done

wow,this is so emotional...very nice piece author...gl

very very nice work author...we all should have heart in our eyes...best of luck

Fantastic work author...Mood is simply brilliant...Love it...my new fav...best of luck

hahahaha...great piece author...its not easy to be a mom...well done

Great work, author. This shows true talent!

should i be sorry for expecting some highlights on the heart...
good work on shading author, though i wud have given a darker shade for her lips, atleast the edge and shadow, following the press of pencil near cheeks and nose.... jus me though...
well done and best of luck author...

well done author.. liked your idea and the execution...

Nice! I actually thought you were someone else.

How adorable!

I personaly, would love to see the whole thing in color, but I am biased. Kick a$$ Author. One of the other folks in my head suspects you have achieved a perfect entry here by forcing the focus onto the heart. Rock on

Brilliant! ....but kids? yuck! Love your creativity author! It screams to me

How adorable!!!!! When I have my 100 kids will you draw them too? Each one will have their very own german shepherd too!!!

the eyes are beautiful... great work.

Cool. Might have been nice to lose the reflection along the bottom

I don't know if it's the official name or not, but my kids called them "kush" (coosh) balls

Lovely ... very creative take on the theme and beautiful work on the heart!

my kids each have one of these in their fav color. walmart sells them in kids toys section for a steal of a price they are fun for us adult too for sure!

Wow!!!
I like the whole blood n guts idea! lol I think I got a canvas here somewhere.....

Your work is top drawer!

GREAT WORK!! Your talent amazes me!!!!

This is really great!!!! You should add like people floating around with blood and guts everywhere cause that shark ate them and tore up the ship so it sank!
Ok sorry I was on a tangent cause some idiot at work.
Either way awesome work!

Awesome idea! Once again, GL!

I KNEW it!! I recognized your style.

Wow! Nice entry, author!! At first glance, I almost thought you photoshopped the heart on but then I saw your SBS. Did you paint the heart necklace on? The medium just looks different from the rest of the sketch. This really is a nice entry! GL!

Simple but impactful. Really good.

The high res is great

Its a kids toy...all my kids had one of these.

Very cool shot! Love how you captured the red!

My daughter has one too.. she loves it.!

But is it a children's toy? I mean, this is usually one of those things that sits on a CEO's desk and it relaxing to adults. Not really children.

Wow author...this is one of the best contrast i ever seen...well done

very nice shot author...best of luck

nice piece author...gl

wow author...really fantastic shot...love the mood on your entry so much...best of luck

Nice shot! GL!

Nice - I like the warm lighting
