5th Place[Tie]
The Joy of Christmas by Mike Ezell

We used this picture of our daughter for our christmas card last year (I put text in the areas around her). People really loved the card and still do not believe me that I did not Photoshop the smile in. She just smiled while she was sleeping. I think she was thinking about how she has her Daddy wrapped around her finger, right where she wants him. "Hmm, I can probably milk lots of stuff from him later if I just give him a smile right now."

Anyway, she was sleeping on a white fleece fabric and after she fell sound asleep, we wrapped a stocking around her that we had cut down the backside.

Still one of my favorite pictures I have ever taken--probably always will be.

If you want to know, it was lit with two Alien Bees softboxes.

Mike, this is such an incredible shot! Everything about it is absolutely perfect, especially the face. It melts my heart. If it were my creation, it would be my favorite also. ---Deb
