Note from Flickr:

The November selections for best story ended in a tie between “Forgotten” and “Kiss Me Please.” As tie breaker, I found that choosing the best was difficult.Alsalam's story is full of hope and love, and has excellent character revealing photographs to support the story. “Kiss Me Please” has a strong beginning and a clear middle, but the ending, especially, could use a photograph showing the happy satisfaction on the part of the man asking for the child's kiss. Additionally, alsalam has been a strong contributor to our group with good stories and frequent comments on other's stories. Indeed, Alsalam nominated “Forgotten” as best on the month.“Forgotten,” by blanca18, captures a poignant moment that most of us have shared, the loss of a relationship. As mentioned on the thread's discussion, the story needs a final resolution, a photo showing the washed away writing in the sand. The story is well set-up and photographed.Since there is no clear cut winner, and both stories deal in different ways, with the importance of meaningful, loving relationships, I declare co-winners. Will alsalam and blanca18 both place their stories in the group pool. Congratulations!
