Thank you all so much for contributing pictures!
I would much prefer to use your work than pictures off some stock site, however, I also need approval from the editing team and sometimes we do lean toward choosing other pictures that we find. Real world competition, right? Though I must say that if I’d seen the edited version of @elianafranzenburg‘s photo a day or two earlier, I would have chosen it for publication. Beautiful work! I’ll try to more specifically describe what we are looking for at the beginning of assignments in the future.
It is a blessing to work with you all, and I look forward to the next time!
Gratefully,
Esther
