If you were following the action, it shouldn't be hard to guess who our lucky winner is for the "best photo" prize. :-) Ladies and gentlemen, let's give it up for Xavier, whose photo, #6 in our contest, collected the most votes, beating its closest competition by more than a factor of two. No contest there!
[Wild applause]
The second prize, the one for the "best comment," I had to approach more thoughtfully. The costest wasn't about the cutest kid. It was about the cutest photo of a kid. And most of the comments focused on how cute the kids were. At the same time, I realize that the model or subject in the photo is a huge factor in how good a photo looks, so it can be hard to separate liking the person in the photo from the photo itself.
Ultimately, two comments stood out the most to me both for their thoughtfulness and insight, and since I couldn't decide which one I liked better, they are going to split the prize, each receiving a $15 gift certificate from Alice Sokoloff Photography. :-)
The two winning comments are:
Alla said... It's SUPER HARD to pick one since ALL of THEM are Beautiful... But as for actual moment captured I would say #8 Vika - It's hard to look at this picture and not to smile back... Everything smiles on her face: her eyes, her lips, her nose, her cute cheeks :) :) :) [December 23, 2009 11:44 AM]
Anonymous said... To look at art, instructors tell you to imagine you are walking through that image and then describe what you feel as you walk through each and every portrait. I have walked through each and every beautiful photo but number 6 brings a feeling of nostalgia like no other photo. This is one that captures a moment in time.
