this was the photo i voted for....

yeah........ !!!!!!!!!!!

[t_siong]

What a surprise :0

Thanks for voting for me :P

i voted this pic because to graduate from tertiary studies is not an easy task and certainly not everyone can do that.... as compare to the other planed shot photo...

other that that, i think, who else can get the granma (old lady with some age) hopping and jumping in joy like that.... So, this photo really reflects the HAPPINESS that she felt. And , I felt that she feel so proud of the young girl (i assume is her grand-daughter)....

for those who gratuated... you know that you are on top of the world during that convo day... HAPPINESS was truly reflected in this photo...

a candid moment of happiness that last a lifetime.... Congratulation to you !

Well deserved and well done.

Nothing to do with voting or voting system, but unfortunately other inconsistencies has been brought to light.

Nice capture indeed. Congratulation. If I'm not mistaken, is this the shot from USM convo that has been held recently?

[t_siong]

It was a day before the convo. Just so happened that my cousin got her robe a day earlier. I invited her for a photo session with her family. The full album is shared in my Flickr:

Agreed ... i voted for this too .. like I said in the original thread, the word "Happiness" pops up from the image .. I was surprised this photo lost ..

No offense to the previous winner ... in fact i think your photo was good .. but just not "happiness" .. more like "sweetness" or like the owner says "1st love"

Happiness of a parent when their child graduate and start to have their own live can't be measured .. this photo did well .. Congratulations :)

Nope, there was some issues with the original winning picture that came to light and couldn't be resolved so it was withdrawn.
