Our granddaughter, whose performances invariably make me cry, entertains the family --Thanksgiving, 2008. Her cousin, Daniel listens, enraptured. He has now grown to six feet and Rhiannon is a sophomore at Amherst.

Really Michelle, you just keep amazing me with your B&W photos. The lighting had to make this a difficult exposure. It is framed perfectly and including the young man on the right was the perfect item to make this a sure winner. #9512766Jack Gaskin July 07, 2011

Other than the superb composition, lighting and tone of the photo, I think the one that should make this a winner is how you placed Daniel in the frame.With the pianist's back turned the facial expression of the child becomes very vital and Michelle, you have captured a very emotional moment as if one could hear the music being played . . . or even cry.
Fantastic! This has to be one of the best photos of the month. Congratulations! #9523195
