I won a photo contest!

I can't believe it. Below is the winning picture. It's of my baby cousin Fate. It will be used in a photo project for QVC early next year. I'm so stunned. And I'm so glad I got into this crazy world of photography.

Thanks for looking,

She has loads of appeal, it's a very likeable image, right down to the freckle on her nose. Congratulations on winning... Don't forget to pay the model :D

Nice...I like this one and I usually hate baby photos.

Wow, well no wonder you won; it's a great shot! :D She's sooo cute!!! I love the sepia tone too.

Congrats on your win, and keep up the good work. -Amanda

Terrific! I hope they're not using it for free?

love the shot. Congrats!!

[marygrace]

Thanks to everyone for your kind words. And, yes, I will be "paid" for this somehow (the details I still don't know.) But what's great is that after the photo project has been created - and I still honestly don't know what they'll use the photo for - the company will be giving me the project and I'll then pass it on to my aunt.

Great fun all around.

Again, thanks guys!

I can't believe it.

I can - this is really a great baby shot. Congrats!

[marygrace]

Thanks Ian! And when I saw how this shot came out on my computer, even I was stunned. Closest thing to holy that I've come to. Thanks for your kind words.

Hey marygrace!

What a killer shot you got there! The lighting got my attention quite fast, as well as the nice gradation of tones... It somehow looks like that old thing called *filmme*.

Also, your baby cousin is the cutest!

Congrats (well-deserved) and thanks for sharing the pic and good news!

Take care!
