You know I am gonna love this one Jeff!! Awesome capture! #9353406Paul D. April 17, 2011
Bam! Nailed it! Great example of what we all should be doing, capturing just enough to tell the story and let the mind fill in the blanks. The connection between the two elephants is what its all about, showing any more of them would take away from it all. Excellent composition lesson Jeff, well done. #9354731Jeff Robinson April 17, 2011

Thanks Very Much Jo Ann :-) Jeff #10639200Merna L. Nobile April 12, 2013
Dear Photo Friend: I feel that something has changed at Better Photo but cannot tell you just what has happened. I have been here since 2003 and most every month I have written to all the winners telling them how their work touches me. I have witnessed photographs that bring tears to my eyes and colors that are unbelievable, now I am worried that like all good things that it will not be here the next time I look.
But the feeling of not being able to congratulate all the winners for the hard work, and sharing their talent with all of us makes me so sad.
However it turns out and even if this is the last time I have this privilege, to let you know how exceptional your work has been, please know that I will never forget.
CONGRATULATIONS to all of you for the month of February, 2013, I send my very best to you always, Merna Nobile
