Hi Ann . . . grand daughters are just so neat at this age. I'm glad you liked it, just wish I could've captured the natural elf's twinkle her eyes always have.
Hi Joe . . . thanks for your comments: she's a great little model as long as I'm quick. I should mention that I tried about a dozen different crops before I settled on the square format; just seemed to work best given the surroundings and her right-down-the-barrel gaze.
Frank: Love the subject, the warmth/character, the lighting, and the title. Just one person's opinion, *but* if this had been a strong left-margin composition in 3:2 (or wider), it would be world-class (again, in my view). Wonderful as is, though. Priceless use of a camera. --Joe
This is wonderful Frank. The lighting is perfect. It highlights the girl and focuses our attention just where it is needed. Love the title too. I can see her as an elf. Great expression too. Ann C
