I'd like to thank Garry for choosing my photo this month. It's good that he makes the time to support the competition, even though he's moved on from the Editor's post at AP,
Congratulations to Gouranga and Rustyknight, and all those who made the effort to enter, and thanks also for the comments above.
When I looked up the meaning of the word 'Passion', most online dictionaries said it was a strong emotion such as love, joy, hatred, or anger. I considered using some male friends to portray anger or 'hate'. One is a 6'4" bouncer with shaven head, the other has a naturally angry look. I also thought about going for 'sorrow', using Cath (my model in the photo above) and some running mascara. Cath vetoed the idea though, so I went for 'love'.
The competition brief said: This months theme is "Passion" Thanks to the circle of confusion Garry says. "I think this can also be taken as emotion." I'm happy in my own mind I've fulfilled the brief.
