Whether one agrees or disagrees if "Innocence" is a virtue, what matters here is whether the submitted photograph moves the judges enough that a photo that displays innocence also conjures up virtuousity when it is seen. We can convince ourselves that it is, but the judges will decide.

Now Dave, I agree with Justiceiro's comment in your thread, that innocence is not a virtue.

Justiceiro wrote:

Innocence alone is, by definition, neither virtuous (n)or corrupt because it is the condition of being unable to distinguish between vice and virtue.

It also seems to me that to meet the theme visually, innocence is exactly what won't be there. If there is sin, we basically know that it is there but don't don't do anything, and if there is virtue, it is probable that a conscious act took place to keep it from being the opposite.

(Too many philosophy classes in college, I suppose!)

Fine, I'll go for gluttony then.
Did you see the way that kid is sucking that bottle down?

I'm sure most know that the post above was one of those tongue in cheek posts.
I know all about it being the judges choice, and I'll run with that shot, win, lose, or draw.

Maybe I should just make the bottle larger like this.:D

I definitely like the one with the bigger bottle. Let's hope the judges do too.

Yes, this is what I was thinking as well, about the virtue element of the challenge. It would have to be a completely mind-blowing image to convey the positives beyond just a 'happy-snap' so to speak. There are a million ideas but conveying them - guess that's why it is a challenge

I hope my comment doesn't appear to be a reflection on the above image, as I think it is gorgeous, especially with the larger bottle
