Wow, I am totally amazed. I love this shot. In fact I already have framed as a 13x19 in my house. My hubby loves it too. This is in Central Park. Kentucky not NY. I love living here. I get so many opportunities like this one. I was driving my kids to school one morning and their school is right beside the park. I noticed the rays of light coming through the trees. It was amazing. I didn't have my camera and didn't have time to run back home to grab it. I had to get to work. So, I decided that I would take my camera with me the next day and pray for the same conditions. I was rewarded. I dropped them off and zoomed around the block back to the park. I fired off about 15 shots. I had a hard time deciding between this and two other out takes. But I am so glad I did.
Thank you all of the wonderful comments. I am truly honored.

I enjoy the quiet feel of this photograph. It's a moment I've experienced in my life but have never seen photographed. Great job and congrats on your top 12 finish :)
I like how soft this is - feels like a painting. Nice light and colors. Bumping you to 8.
