Adjusted detail to try to reduce glare on glasses and remove blemish.

Saw too many pixels when I resized. Don't understand much about why yet.

I know probably getting a lot of "too small" comments. Glare on the glasses is a little distracting.

This shot needs to be in the kitchen! Your background is really working against you here.

I'm glad your Mom won the ribbon, but I don't see the environment here...

Cute pic of mom. :) The photo quality seems rather low - if you're not using a camera with rather limited megapixels, you may want to work a little on your resizing methods. Also, glasses can be difficult but sometimes if you have the subject tilt them just a bit, you can avoid the glare.

Based on the title and the environmental aspect of the challenge, I wonder if this would be stronger if she was in the kitchen with her cobbler - taking it out of the oven, preparing it, etc. Or shown actually receiving her award. Just thoughts...
