I appreciated all the upbeat entries! Many good candidates, which I judged subjectively for how they exuded the topic, and for photo quality.

Some honorable mentions I really enjoyed:




In third place, with a great unbridled expression of glee, from Robin Lew:


In second place, the special glee of a child, from Ken Zaret:


In first place, from Walter Koenig, a very colorful character with what struck me as a very genuine, contagious expression of glee:

Love that winning shot Walter Congrats to all other winners and HMs. Fun topic.

An unusual and fun topic. Really enjoyed looking at the submissions. I've never consciously taken a "glee" photo, now thank to you Jeff, I'll probably think of it every time I take pictures of people.
Will post the next competition very soon.
Regards, Walter

Thanks for the 3rd place. Congratulations to Walter, Ken and all the HM's ;
and to all the other entrants. It was a fun topic.

An unexpected (and welcome) topic! Congrats to Walter and thanks for the 2nd place.
