Thanks for your comment, Nico, I am glad you like it. No, I did not put the candlestick and the wine glass there on purpose; actually, I am not very happy with those objects in the foreground, but moments like this will happen only once. Perhaps I shall try a tighter crop.

I love the bright, lively eyes; the I-am-wise-beyond-my-years hand and finger pose contrasted by the I-am-just-being-myself tongue! :-) Lovely!
Did you include the glass(?) objects in the foreground on purpose, or were those props that just happened to be there when the moment presented itself?
Nice one, GeraldH, and I look forward to many more contributions from you. Regards jnconradie
