Our very own Lizzard won the dGrin Mega Challenge for her wonderful, funny and well conceived family photo called "Modern Day Last Supper."

It made my day when I saw the news this morning of her very strong and convincing win. I know that other folks in this forum (some of whom might not visit the Challenge forum very often) will be pleased for her too.

Well done, Liz! :barb

I can say I knew you when!!

Virginia

    Great shot, with just the right amount of humor. I hope the Jesus stand-in doesn't let this all go his head. :D

    I love it all. Your daughter's goofball face, the socks/bare feet, the bowl of chips, the Jim Beam, the poses, the light ... it's marvellous at so many levels. Now ~taps foot impatiently~ :nono where's that BTS?! :D

    Well Virginia to find this thread here was really special for me, thank you.
    You guys know how much the street forum means to me.
    On a sidenote, my intial attempt for this contest "last" was street, but I didn't get what I wanted. they were tourists by Macys in Herald Square, and the parents had them lined up walking down the street, holding on to the back of each others coats. This was the best shot of that attempt. I couldn't get the last little guy holding on to the line!

    Divamum--the bts is now in the other thread :)

    Thank you guys :D.

    oh lol--my first inital reaction was "what da?" :) I could only imagine what Leonardo would say. Lol, but I can't take away that it takes talent to do what she did. Thanks for thinking of me when thinking of lint :D,

    Thank you Tina.
    I don't know how to go about doing that, but I'm so proud of it I will look into it. Also, I did submit it to Jim Beam (product placement and as was suggested) and got my first official rejection letter, it was a very nice rejection letter.
