It's my birthday and I want to say thank you -- a caption contest

As I complete another orbit around the sun, I want to say how thankful I am for each and every one of you.

I don't just want to say thank you, I want to show my gratitude. So… I'm holding a contest and a drawing for prints and more.

Participating is simple: leave a comment below with your suggested title for the image above.

Here are the details:

Contest Dates: entries accepted from May 9 - June 8, 2024 at 11:59pm EDT (GMT-5)
How to Enter: comment on this post with your suggestion for a title for this image (feel free to explain your title inspiration)
Eligibility: you must be a free or paid member of this page (patreon.com/thephotosmith) as of June 8, 2024 at 11:59pm EDT, comments by non-members do not count. No purchase is necessary to win.
Prizes: One grand prize winner will receive a signed and numbered original print of any image of mine, chosen by the winner, up to 13x19" in size, two runners-up will receive a wholly unique signed "damaged" print of my choosing, three honorable mention winners will each receive a signed 8x11 print or cyanotype of my choosing, and everyone who enters will receive something special, so long as they are a member of my page -- free or paid members, alike.
Selecting winners: the grand prize winner and runners-up will be chosen by myself and a jury of two others, based on the merit, meaning, and creativity of their submission. Honorable mention winners will be chosen at random -- each person is limited to one submission, but patrons will receive additional entries equivalent to the dollar cost of their tier status as of June 8, 2024 at 11:59pm EDT. (i.e., if you are a free member, you will receive 1 entry; if you are a member of the $15 tier, you will receive 16 entries)
Notifying winners: winners will receive notice by June 15, 2024; winners must respond by July 1, 2024 or they may forfeit their prize.
