Tears Of Joy

My next door neighbor Peggy's daughters and husband pulled off a Big 60th Birthday Surprise party . Her 90 year old mother in law and sister in law flew in from Florida to attend. Peggy says her mother in law will not travel far from home anymore so this was truly special and shows how much love there is between them. They were hiding in this pagoda like structure in the restaurant and the only way to capture the moment was through the slates on the outside of the structure. It was a wonderful night, although challenging to photograph.

So much joy and happiness....love the inadvertent framing, too! Sometimes, it is just about capturing the moment, which you did!

[Jane Anderson]

Your photograph shows the genuine and intense emotion--the heart of the story. Don't worry about the slats--it's all here!

Great capture of the moment. The between the slates view gives the viewer the sense of hiding before the surprise even before reading the caption. Great story capture!!
