Author gypsykate says: Congratulations to the winners: 1st Place - MOMMYJ (Drummer Piper); 2nd Place - DJOZAH@_@ (Pianist Tommy); 3rd Place - BELLE 15 (Dancer Sarah); COC - MOMYKITTY (Marcher Juliette). I had voted 10+10 on all scraps and had a hard time choosing my COC. My criteria were the clarity and appeal of the photo (including the subject's enjoyment of his/her talent); the layout's harmony, balance and impact; and the uniqueness of either the talent itself or how it was presented. I chose MOMYKITTY's scrap because aside from meeting my criteria, I find the photo particularly inspiring in that it is symbolic of our children's determined march into their future, hopefully armed with the skills and talents they need to succeed and be happy. Aside from the 4 winning scraps, the following were my top favorites: - EMMALEEAH (Winker Maddy); - JENNYBOSCH (Artist Keira); - LAVENDER PASSION (Dancer Jeri Ann); - PoetryNMotion (Contortionist Curtis). Thank you all for making this such an enjoyable challenge. I'm sorry for this late message as my connection at the office wouldn't let me post anything. Apr 23, 2009
