What's the story in this picture by Julie Sterling Williams?
Make one up.  She has her eyes on him and is smiling warmly and freely. He has his eyes closed and is smiling...or is he? Let's see. Perhaps she told him a joke but he doesn't like puns. Or he asked her to marry him and she said "yes" on condition that he sells his Porshe. Or she said "yes" but only if her mother could live with them. Maybe they are celebrating on the roof garden of their new home. He has just made the down payment but she quit her job!
OK. It doesn't matter what the story is, you just know this picture has one. Story is one the most compelling elements that can bring a picture to life. Another is emotion. One way or another, you get a feeling of joy from this picture. Two good reasons to make it our choice for our Winner. Congratulations Julie!
Of course, the photograph no doubt has its true story. Julie didn't tell us what it is in her caption but she hinted in the title. It's called "Engaged."
