This is such a great birthday email to wake up too!  Congrats to everyone else, even though some of you are on another continent … Great work!and the new winning photo as well (5th internationally in “Getting Ready”)

Judge’s Comments: 1. There is something about this image that kept drawing me in for more. The composition is strong and the tonality really helps. The whole little scene going on behind the door is great and it is indeed hard to make an image like this work with 5 people, yet each person has their own role in the image.
