Thanks KaDi....that's the nicest comment yet! You made my day (well night).

This was a fun challenge for me. My assumption was ...even though he watched the activities on TV the night before, he's STILL completely in awe and he can't wait to see more pictures and read about it.

Glad you liked it and I'm very pleased with the result.

No one got a higher score from me in this challenge and I'd never take it back.

Fantastic! This picture rocks. I always wondered what emotions were like for people living during that historical moment. This totally satisfies my curiosity. Great job!

Excellent - I love it. The expression on his face is perfect; "I just got out of bed and look at these headlines..." ! The cropping is just right.
