Bill Jennings from (Bay Area Northern Calif), United States
I like how you used a shallower f/stop to slightly blur the background to really pull Bridget out into the front so well. A great graduation shot. I am sure she was glad you were there for her!

@Bill Jennings: To be truthful, the overcast sky was throwing so many light changes at me that this was an 'auto' setting. I guess my Sony did the right things. <grin> People were standing all around waiting for me to get my shots so it wasn't as if I had much time to prepare. ... Yes, Bridget was thrilled we were there with her.
Marion from Nanaimo, BC, Canada
What a radiant smile on a very beautiful young lady. I always tell my grandchildren that I love them to pieces too. I wonder where that saying came from?? We really don't want them in pieces. :>))

@Marion: You are so right, Marion ... we don't want them "in pieces" and I have no idea where that phrase came from.
Bridget is sad now, that her college days are over; her friends have gone to their own corners of their worlds and life begins anew - again. Such is life for all of us, and she will be off and running in her new venture in several more weeks.
Leena from Joensuu, Finland
I was looking after a right word, and this is a best one, what I found : Brilliant eyes and smile.
We use in Finnish something like glittering, shining or sparkling . . .
Could I use also those words ?
I hope, my point is now clear ! :))
Happy weekend to all of you!

@Leena: Dear Leena, your search for words was perfect; brilliant, glittering, shining, sparkling all describe Bridget very well. Thank you very much.

Ha she is such a beauty, and you know she does have a bit of ms Garner's looks (it's been mentioned before in you comments) but Bridget is even more beautiful! Congrats Bridget, the world is your oyster and you have a wonderful grandma lol
