G'day DIANNA!

What an absolutely wonderful, happy, colourful family-fun-in-the-snow photograph! Everyone is playing a great role and showing pure joy.
A nice tight composition, excellent depth and focus and a good point of view have delivered a lovely piece of work.
My hearty congratz for the awards this has won for you and you can now add a big shiny Aussie G'DONYA to your collection.
