There were so many wonderful entries, and it was very difficult deciding on the winners.

First, there are a few honorable mentions that are definitely worth mentioning.

I loved Peter's photograph because of the expression on this boy's face. I love the sparkle in his eye, and I also like that the scab on his face was completely left alone. I also can't help but wonder what he is putting in his mouth.

Marcel captured a future rebel in this photo, and it really made me smile.

I really felt the loneliness in Chasp's capture of this young boy.

Bao's photo captured the essence of innocence.

Now for the final three.

THIRD PLACE:

Ralph's photo was wonderful. I loved how the two of them are simply engrossed in nothing but each other.

SECOND PLACE:

What "got" me about Tim's photo was the way in which the child was cropped as well as the manner in which the hair seemed to blend into the background. I thought this photo was different, and I really liked it.

FIRST PLACE

I could not stop looking at this photo. I thought that it was technically excellent, and that the capture was just superb. This shot was obviously a "stolen" moment...one that froze so many childhood milestones in the blink of a shutter.

congrats to all and great choice on the first place. It's not often I laugh out loud looking at pictures on line but that one got me. ANd having two children that have gone through that in the recent past it's so spot on! Reading and all...

Great job to all!
