This week was extra special... Pearls and Roses had their first guest judge!
I noticed that my page was starting to spring up, new photographers were flowing in and knew that it was time to start having guest judges now that we had a regular flow of submissions.
Who was our guest judge?
The amazing Crystal, from Crystal Kary Photography!
I was wandering around trying to find a judge, so I was going through MY page to look there as well, I found an image she submitted and it caught my attention, I began going through her page, every photo I saw was a perfect definition of life, no matter how crazy, not matter how quiet she captures both areas so well. I knew that this was the one and I was SO so happy that she accepted! I am so honored to have her on our "Guest Judge for a week" list!! <3
Crystal,
I want you to know that your work inspires others everyday, your images of your kids and of your everyday life are more than just pictures, they are memories that no one else could see there, only you had the eye for that simple but breathtaking image! But when you share them with others you make a creative spark bloom inside them to make them want to pay attention to the small things instead of the big. I am very sad to let you go!! But life goes on! ;) Thank you for all you do girl! Loved having you this week! <3

Below are the Top Ten & Weekly Winner! Above each image are some things that Crystal wrote of why she chose your image and why she loved it! Have fun!
Our new theme this week is
{ Black and White }
February is cold, grey and dreary! Thought this the perfect theme. <3
" I really like this one because the cat in the background looks like he/she is trying to plot on stealing the baby’s milk. "
" How funny is this! All kids
do this! "
" The dog makes this image for
me. Mom is carrying on about her business, tending to the little one
and the dog just wants some attention. "
" I love how the girl is
dressed up in this beautiful dress, running freely and then big
brother is hanging from the tree. It’s just too funny. "
" I can totally relate to this
image. Being a mom of little ones, this happens at my house all the
time. "
" I love her expression! It’s
so great when you can catch them in the act. "
" You can just tell she is
having a blast swinging. I love the connection she has with the
camera. "
" Newborns are just the
sweetest and they make the greatest facial expressions. "
" To me, since the boys are
getting off the trampoline, it looks like it’s time to come in from
playing but the girl has different plans! "
And the winner is...
" I chose this as the winner
because for me, it’s as real as it gets! I love how no one is
camera aware. I really like that you can see the motion of the girl
getting on the bus. The little boy seems to be taking his sweet time
and then there is the girl on the corner just waiting. It is just
all around great. "
Congratulations everyone!
These are all so wonderful! Hope you have a wonderful week!
