Blowing kisses for a grandpa she never did know.

Daily Deviation

Given 2002-08-17

When you take a picture of a moment in your life that is extremely important to you it is hard to convey the emotion that you were feeling to others who view the photograph. I had a link sent to me while having a discussion about “good photography” and low and behold the second I opened this I had this feeling inside of me where I almost felt my heart skip a beat and the smile on my face was gone in that instant. Try striking emotion in people who did not witness the same event that you did. Now take that challenge and try to do it online. mourning grandpa by denouement is _that_ photograph.

This is incredible, and I think it's quite obvious why. Beautiful rendering of a touching moment in time, and the way you are showing both sides of the scene is great.

... extremely well-done, a halting image that can't help but leave a lasting impression on the viewer... kudos to `flummox and +olya for the DD nod...
