Andrea Dietrich April 2, 2021 at 12:52 PM I thought your interpretation of the pictures was one of the better ones. Congrats in the contest. L Milton Hankins April 2, 2021 at 2:15 PM Thanks, Andrea. I appreciate your confidence, your comments, and your support. Although it shows a Third Place, it was thirtieth down on the list. Having read all of those above me, it was a bit hard to swallow. But, I'm trying not to whine...really, I am!

Andrea Dietrich March 29, 2021 at 5:19 PM Yes, another GREAT write on the girl in the red dress. I am now seeing more than a few people choosing that same picture a you and I did! L Milton Hankins March 29, 2021 at 6:38 PM Well, I gave up on mine placing high when I read yours! It's okay. One of the entries even selected the same approach I did. Just coincidence. There aren't too many approaches one can take to this pic. Good luck to ya'. Milt
