this is one of my favorite images i've ever taken. the pure, raw emotion struck through me as soon as i saw nancy look up at her daugher. her look happened so fleetingly that i thought i might have missed it. i'm so thankful i was able to capture this image for nancy and her family.
JUDGES COMMENTS: The eyes just say it all. Beautiful subject and beautifully handled. The hands coming into the frame give the picture even more energy (as if the eyes weren't electric enough). This is one proud mother or grandmother and this picture of her will be remembered long after she's gone. Emotion can come just from the power of a look, and this look was one of my favorites in the edit. I loved her expression and the photographer recognizing that and moving in for the tighter crop was the right thing to do.
