Inspiring Photo: This Is Bliss...Her Way! #4121581

This Is Bliss...Her Way!

Uploaded: July 01, 2007

Description

This is a resubmit. All I did was readjust the tones on this image. I feel like this image really shows true bliss. She was thrilled on her first trip on the ferris wheel. A precious moment I will remember forever...definitely a picture of her personality and her love of life.

My definition of her..."she is like a ray of sunshine that dances playfully across the lush green grass of a field and the sparkle that glistens on a lake in the midst of a summer day...she is bliss..."

Thanks for your comments and critiques!
