 OMG I cant believe the Blue!! Wow my first 7 and my first Blue ribbon.
This has been sitting above 7 all week (another first) and I really thought Itwould drop under before rollover. I was so busy trying to get my entry for Good News Bad News done today (which I missed)I hadnt even checked on this all morning. I was happy with the way this turned out I felt it had some feeling and Im glad that came across to others. Thanks for all the lovely comments. Happy, happy, happy...

I did not vote on this challenge as one who suffers from bouts of depression, I could not bring myself to go through and entire batch of depressing photos. This one really hits the nail on the head though as far as emotion goes. Nice work and congrats on the Blue

Beautiful and so emotive. Congrats on the well deserved blue!

* I was going to edit for a double post, but sometimes Karma comes around, and perhaps this image is meant to have a double dose of good wishes... :)
