Such a touching scene. Beautifully done. Congratulations on the Finalist my friend. #8491177

frank w. degenhardt March 28, 2010

Dianna- As I was going through the finalist and I saw this one and it just took me in. Forst of all the photography is of professional grade quality. I love the look of the water. But this touching scene is so powerful in the innocense of children and their curiosity as shown here and the love the walrus feels from the child. I to love the eyes of the walrus. A tender moment we adults can hope to follow by example.
Have a wonderful day girl, congrats. #8491845
