AUGUST WINNER – SORROW
I didn’t get the response I have been getting with my contests – but it was still VERY hard to choose!
I knew this would be a very hard one.
SORROW – as defined by webster -
1. deep distress, sadness, or regret especially for the loss of someone or something loved.
2. a cause of grief or sadness.
3. a display of grief or sadness.
That being said – it was VERY VERY hard to choose – they are all so very different but display sorrow.
5th place from Lindsy – she took this photo in Bolivia – where she was working in an orphanage for kids with disabilities. In this picture – the eyes say it all.
4th place from April – such a sad little face! There were so many photos submitting of kiddos crying – the big tear on her chin is what got me!
3rd place from Alisha – this is a photo of her son waving goodbye to his Grampa – such a moment!
2nd place by Emily – a mother’s sorrow.
1st place by Carrie – a daddy saying goodbye to his son before leaving for Iraq.
THE GRAND PRIZE WINNER is a photo submitted by Melissa – picking up her daughter after the first day of kindergarten.
What got me in this photo is that sad, tired look and her arms outstretched waiting for the hug she had missed all day.
