If it's a different judge she could have been a 'tougher' one. HOw did you do overall compared to last year? The photos tell a pretty compelling story of change to me.

While we all want to see the progress we know we have made reflected in our score, there still are variances between judge A and judge B.<br />The photos are proof of the wonderful changes you and Conner have made in 1 year - you can see it and I know you feel it.
