Photo Contest Entry from SuzMcQ

I apologize for the yellowed look, however all of my 70s photos have taken this on. A sign of the times.

The original is on my wall and clearer than the way this scanned. Not sure if the negative survived.

Thank you for enjoying the beautiful expression on this gentleman's face. Take it in and hold it in your heart.

Yes, the original is very clear and focused.

Thinking I will take this to a professional to scan properly, and perhaps even restore a bit.

You are amazing! This is truly a artists dream photo!!!

What a wonderful captured moment ... the heavily decorated soldier has the look of eternity his eyes ... My vote is for this fantastic shot!

You never cease to amaze me in all your endeavors! Wonderful, happy proud gentleman.

Awesome!

Incredible shot!

And by incredible, I mean you captured the sense of community, dedication, and geniune joy perfectly.

C'est magnifique!!! Makes me want to not only go back to Paris, but to time travel...looks like a still from a movie -- what you call "yellowing" looks like atmosphere to me.

Fantastic pic, Suzanne.

This is the BEST ONE and SO Peterman.  What a transmission of loving!  I love his uniform too. Everything about it I like.  "A treasured soldier"  I love it.

I love this pic!  And I love that's it's faded and yellowed a little bit! 

This photo speaks to my soul!  Nice one!!

Love it! Very evocative, and the yellowin of age only makes it more so

What a great picture!  A rare time capsule shot!

( Live;Love; Life)>Captured! ~Love It~

Sweet! Gave me goosebumps.

Congratulations, SuzMcQ!  This had to be the winner.  The right place, the right time, and the ability to capture it for all of us.  Great work!

SuzMcQ,  Pure photographic evidence...Old soldiers never die, they just fade away.

Congratulations.

This most definitely deserved to win!  I'm just so sorry that I missed it in the randomization of the voting page for the community votes.  Well done!
