There's an online website that holds a monthly photograhy contest. I've been a member for quite awhile, and frequently upload my photos, and enter the contest. The site has members from all over the world...so there's some pretty amazing work there. The theme for October was connections...and it just so happenned that I'd had a fantastic shoot with two of the most adorable sisters ever, and thought I had a good photo to put into this category. I can't quite describe how excited I was when I got the email saying I was a finalist...out of 38700 entries (this is for all thems together...of course!). And then...my friend Shannon - who's also addicted to photograhy - called to tell me I'd gotten a second place...SWEET! So...I'm attaching the email they sent me that they suggest I send to the local newspaper, as well as the photo...
