"1st Communion"

Photo courtesy of Robert Schwarztrauber. Photographer and proud dad Robert Schwarztrauber took this beautiful photograph of his daughter enjoying the moment after completing her first Communion ceremony, and the following is his story behind the image: "This photo was taken at my daughter's First Communion ceremony with my Nikon D40 camera. Much to my disappointment, flash photos were not allowed during the proceedings, and it was too dark for taking any quality, long distance shots without it. However, afterward I was able to capture this very memorable shot as the fresh spring breeze from outdoors blew in through an opened door of the church. After receiving 1st Communion, you can see she was obviously moved by His presence as she walked past the opened door to the church."   Click here to comment on this picture.   Visit the POTD Archives for previous "Pictures Of The Day"!     Submit a photo of your own!                                 Place the "Picture of the Day" on your website, for free!
