went to the local rail museum and had a ride in a very old heritage train .. of course i was thinking of this challenge ..
usually family give me one second to get a shot .. and it seems as soon as i ask we're suddenly in a hurry .. ;)
so most of the time i follow them around like a weirdo capturing shots when they're just doing what they do .. its easier than asking .. and usually better too .. i think i become almost invisible except when a nana is needed .. so this was very candid ..
have no idea how this will go as there will probably be a lot of pics in this challenge with DPL .. and i'm sure some of them will be amazing .. :)
i'm just happy i spent time on the edit .. brings back the lovely time we all had together .. :)
after rollover ..
this has been the most extraordinary week .. the reaction to this photo was so unexpected ..
I'm a great believer that we don't see the world as it is but as we are .. so influenced by our beliefs .. society .. and conditioning ..
this photo perfectly represented that for me ..
thankyou so much everyone for your amazing comments during voting .. very special .. xx

Absolutely one of your best portraits ever, but hey you’ve photographed many many beautiful images. But this one speaks to me so much. Too busy to vote, but looks like you didn’t need my 10 :)
Congratulations, Roz. This one really takes my breath away. And to think it's your family - how very special. I'm not one for family portraits all over my house but this one would be huge - and prominently hung. Well-deserved blue.
Blue in my book. 10. Engaging natural expressions and poses. Interesting situation. Emotional and artistic appeal. Incredible editing. This one has it all.
