About Life-n-Reflection: If I had to label myself , I'd likely have the term Artistic Entrepreneur stamped to my head.   I became a shutterbug at a young age and that hasn't changed.  I currently design templates, textures, and branding materials for photographers in my home office.  I am filled with gratitude each and every day.  It's not a secret, "Dreams Do Come True"!

I was blown away by the amount of talent in this week's contest. I just need to take a second and say thanks to my co-host, Kim. If it wasn't for her there wouldn't have been any contests for the last month or more. She stepped right in and set up all the posts for me. I just sent her my picks. A lot of time goes in to getting these posts ready each week and I just wasn't feeling up to it. Kim eagerly offered to help me out till I was feeling more myself. I'm officially in the second trimester (woot woot!) so thankfully I'm starting to feel a little better. Please take a second and pop on over to Kim's blog and tell her thank you for all her hard work.

Now on to this week's winners. You are going to love these!

Look at the detail that she captured.  I know these guys are skiddish, so bravo.  Very crisp and bright, too. {Kim}

 I love the simplicity and composition. Your eye goes straight to the intended subject. Love the softness too. {Misty}

 The sun flare, the backlight glow on the field, it is all just so lovely! {Kim}

Would you check out those intense colors and beautiful contrasts! Gorgeous landscape. {Misty}
  
 Congratulations, winners! Grab your button!






And this week's #1 winner is:
This composition is just perfect!  I love the bright, bold colors and the detail is A-MAZ-ING. {Kim}

I can hardly believe we are half way through the month of April already! Though I am ashamed to say that I haven't picked up my camera in ages, you all continue to inspire me. Hopefully the second trimester will lead to some new found inspiration and motivation. Anyway, here are the top five from last week.


I think I actually said "Wow!" out loud when I saw this. Gorgeous lighting and details and perfect DOF! {Misty}

I love the composition and lighting in this portrait.  The fact that she shot through the flowers to give it an incredibly dreamy effect was perfect, too.  I bet this family loved all of these shots.  {Kim}

Butterflies are not easy to capture and the clarity and colors on this one are incredible!  {Misty}


Wow, I love this.  It looks like a see of tulips.  The processing and added texture are just perfect.  This needs to be framed.  {Kim}

Congrats to the these fabulously talented ladies.  Be sure to grab your button.






And now the winner this week is...

If I had been wearing socks when I saw this, they would have been knocked right off my feet! So dreamy. Absolute perfection!  {Misty}

The lighting is spot on perfection!  Absolutely blew me away.  {Misty}

I love the lighting in this shot and the details are just amazing.  You guys know I am a sucker for bugs, too.  {Kim}

This belongs on someone's wall.  What an amazing capture and the variety of colors as well as the reflection is breathtaking.  {Misty}
