I just found out Ryan's silhouette photo won the Click it up a Notch April photo contest. Thank you to everyone who voted and for all your wonderful comments, and congratulations to all the other finalists. I'm humbled and proud to be part of such an awesome network of family, friends and other photographers.
For some reason the opening statement from the Bishop of London at the royal wedding keeps going through my head, "Be who God meant you to be and you shall set the world on fire".
One thing I've learned from my 365 photo journey is if you set your mind to something and pursue it with purpose, there are no limits to where the path may take you. I have learned so much about my camera, about lighting, about processing, about new found friends and faithful friends and family who've supported me in this venture, and about finding something interesting and beautiful even in the most mundane and ordinary things. Beauty is all around us if we just take the time to see it.

Congratulations!!!!! I am completely in awe of this photo and it is no surprise to me that you've won. You do such an amazing job of capturing your kids. I agree with what you've said about the beauty all around us. I find myself looking at the simple things so differently. Way to go!!!
I can add my AMEN to all of the above. Congratulations Kristin! I actually kept checkng the voting to see how you were coming day by day. I thought you had it tied up. There were some amazing photos in that competition too. This sillouette is exceptionally beautiful!
Congratulations! That's so great that you won! I absolutely LOVE this photo! (I probably already told you that several times, but I'm telling you again.) :)
I agree that if we just open our eyes, we can see the beauty that is all around us. Doing this 365 has certainly opened my eyes to things I would not have normally seen. And if I get nothing else from this journey, I will be thankful for at least that.
High fives and hugs!! Such a beautiful person and photo to have won! All the images were great and I enjoyed watching them along the way. I to want to add an AMEN to each and every comment you made above. You worded it so well. Cheers to the days ahead and where our journeys here on Earth will take us. Let's make the most of it!
Congrats on winning the contest! It is a great picture indeed! :) I have truly enjoyed looking at your blog through your 365 Project!
Congrats Kristin, I am so incredibly happy that you won. I absolutely love that photo and it was the perfect winner!!!
I just barely saw your comment on Rory and the dog a few days ago. I have wondered what camera you have. About my focus...I spot meter, and have it on the center focal point..always automatic. I need to work on BBF. I have never quite understood it.
Congratulations Kristin! It is a beautiful image, and you are simply getting back what you have put into this 365 community :)
Congratulations Kristin! You definitely deserved to win (I knew you would!)-this is gorgeous. I love that quote too.
Congrats Kristin! I love the photo. So glad you are doing this 365, and that I found your blog. You take amazing photo's and I have learned and been inspired by you.
I just love this! Congrats! You are such a great 365 friend and so uplifting and inspiring! I always love reading your comments and seeing your pictures!
Congrats to you, my friend! You deserve it!
Congratulations!! TOTALLY well deserved!
I really need to do a 365. There's an article I want to read about the importance of personal projects. Need to get on that too.
Very deserving! :)
