Wow, what a wonderful comments to wake up to this morning. Thank you so much Linda, Anna, Scott, Valeria, Hector, Toni, Jennifer, and Denise. Toni, I simply took my daughter to the largest puddle I could find and had her stand there. I walked around to find the best possible reflection, and then took a picture of her reflection in the puddle, including just her boots in the water to ground the image and give it a frame of reference. As for editing, I did a very general sort of an edit with a slight boost in curves and colour to bring out the reflection in the puddle. Then I decided to add a texture in a colour burn layer over it, and adjust opacity, just to grunge it up a little. Jennifer, I am not sure what DDR stands for, but thank you for the compliment.

Thank you Kara and Renee. Kara, apparently I did enter it again for June not remembering I had entered it for May. I checked the date and it was re-entered on the 6th of June so long before the winners were announced. Hmmm, I wonder if there is a way to take it out of this month's contest?

I have tried contacting BP both by telephone, where I left and message and by email, asking them remove this image from June contest, but so far I have not received a reply from either messages.

Heidi Brand |
I just received the following reply from BP: Thanks for your phonecall. Sorry, we are not able to remove images from the Free Contest - the only way would be to delete the image altogether. So, I guess I will have to enjoy my badge while it lasts.

WTG, Heidi--this is a FANTASTIC photo, a well-deserved win, congratulations! I see from the discussion above there was some confusion about whether you'd entered this before, so let me add to it. ;) I thought this was a POTD!? Or, maybe it was the previous image that won POTD. Anyway, congratulations, Heidi!!
