Congratulations! You must be a proud father! Your son's noble action in raising funds must have drawn the community's praise. Nice looking shot for the family album and framing! Thanks for sharing!

Comment from Glena Jessee-King


Yes, this is very appropriate for the contest. You should be proud, as you are, of such a fine young man. He expresses such happiness and exhilaration and is a perfect person to represent such a fine reward and work. Sorry I don't have a "6". This is an outstanding story to tell.

    Thank you so much Glena! Straight after this shot, he went to each of the bigwigs on stage and and gave them really big tight hugs! They didn?t know where to put themselves! 😂 Ben does like his hugs.

A good looking image posted here! Your fine, full and appropriate composition offers us an enjoyable view of that proud looking young man and what has been achieved. Colours, textures and tones are good. Exposure and sharpness are good. Nicely done!

    Thanks Jennifer - he?s my son, of course I?d include him in everything. He also has his own ?everyday life? as he now has his own place where he lives independently.
