It's that time again! Time to announce the winners of the photography challenge.This month's theme topic was "JOY", chosen by last month's winner Carla F. She has sent me a private message with this month's First and Second Place winners. I will pick the third place since she did not specify and I feel this photo needs recognition. Please feel free to view all the wonderful submissions at:
If you are not a member of our group, I do encourage you to sign up and participate in the monthly challenges. Each month a theme is announced and the winner from each month becomes the next month's guest judge and picks the theme.
So here goes:
THIRD PLACE WINNER is.................
HEATHER B!!!!!!

I picked Heather's picture because it shows joy in a way that is unusual to the other pictures chosen in this month's challenge. This is the type of joy that is felt because of the way it tugs the heart strings. It is a beautiful photo, and truly depicts a woman experiencing heartfelt joy. As I commented in the pic earlier, it brought tears to MY eyes when I read the story behind it. So many things in this world that bring us happiness, and the best of them is memories. Thank you Heather for sharing this photo and story. Very touching!
The following two photos were chosen by Carla! Carla has been going through some rough times, so we really appreciate the time you took to participate as Guest Judge this month. Thank you Carla!
SECOND PLACE WINNER is............

"I liked the black and white grain, and the edge effects and the baby in the shot is obviously having a joyful moment."
