A nice photo
A big hint to getting more votes, this one above, like many of your photo entries that I have seen,
your dearly beloved features more prominently than what the theme of the competition is about.

Nothing wrong with having her or any other person in the photo, just make sure they dont
overpower the what viewers should be looking at.
Keep her or other people prominent WHEN people are part of the photo theme, otherwise
keep them either absent or in the background :smile:

Take you latest entry in the "sound of music" theme competition, the music item is very small
(not prominent) in the photoDave
