The Power Of Love

Hi! I see they've chosen this photo to headline this week's creative challenge. It's a shame it can't win again (as I'm sure it would). If I were a betting man, I'd bet that you'll enter some almost as good. You know I say that simply because I can't imagine a BETTER photo. Good luck and God bless!

When I read last week what this week's Challenge was going to be, this is the first picture I thought of. So I was not surprised at all to see it in the spotlight. It's such an awesome picture, Sandra.

Hey, I love this image, and I'm just curious if you are by chance a photo student at Camden County College? I ask because I am and someone there has duplicated this image almost exactly. So I just wanted to find out if you're one and the same...

said ty2097 10 months 5 days ago

I seldom read the emails from Webshots or the creative challenge info. I'm very glad I did tonight. As I scrolled through the photos from previous contests, your composition just jumped out at me. I think nkburton eloquently stated most of what I could say here. There's only one thing I'd like to add. Anne Geddes once said "The hardest thing in photography is to create a simple image." You've certainly met that challenge with great success. Another fan in Texas - Bob

said bobwall100 10 months 8 days ago

I have to admit, at first I didnt even notice the heart. I saw the ring and the words, but when I read further I saw the heart. Beautiful picture

said fbcovey 10 months 11 days ago

Dear Sandra, I would also like to add my heart felt (no pun intended) congatulations for such an exquisite composition and unquestionably well deserved recognition!!! - I believe I can truthfully say this communicates the most touching and deeply emotional feelings of any photogragh I've ever encountered. It's just magic and simply grabs you by the heart. It's so simple in form and sends such a clear message immediately, that it just draws you in. THEN, when one realizes the presence of the "shadow heart" formed by the wedding band, It's just overwhelming! Each component of the photograph is intimately connected with the others and result in the remarkable mood and completeness of this masterpiece as a whole. Simply an astonishingly beautiful work of art! - congratulations a thousand times over!!! - A fan in Georgia - Kent

said nkburton 10 months 15 days ago

Wow, this is a beautiful picture, If you put it up for artwork I would buy it! Thats how serious I am on this picture! Congrats On 1st place!!
