This evening marks a new beginning for each of us so this photo seemed appropriate. In the spirit of learning even more this year through the FM forum, I welcome any C&C. Happy New Year to everyone! Thea

Hi Thea,

Great shot. You have set this up very well, and executed it beautifully. It coveys the message extremely well.

Happy New Year to you too,

Steve S.

Thanks Steve, It was fun to shoot and we saved the pouring of the champagne until just before midnight so that added to the celebration. Thea

Some one cheated on the early sip of the champagne!! Nice shot and great feel for the Assignment.

Thanks Steve, I had posted earlier in the day minus the champagne...then just minutes before midnight with the champagne...I have a very understanding husband Unfortunately, it was the wrong size and I have been unable to post editted photos so I had to delete the original and start a new topic. I did report the problem to FM. I appreciate your taking the time to both look and comment. Thea

Very fitting Thea. Nice photo.

There had to be at least one New Year themed entry. This one captures the feel of celebration wonderfully. I love the framing.

Happy New Year,
Chad
