Today is my two year anniversary at this great BetterPhoto site. I wanted to enter one of my favorite images of all time. It is a photo of my daughter, Beckie, captured in March of 2003. She is holding a disco ball. It was captured without a flash, this is the original JPEG. I cloned a couple of spots, but did not use any computer filters or effects to capture this photograph.
This image is dedicated to all of the friends I have made at this site over the past two years. Because of your support and wisdom, I have pursued my love of photography. Thank you BetterPhoto for the opportunity to share my work.
This is a resubmit into a different category.
