Thanks Penny, Mary Anne, and Doug. Appreciate your comments.

I agree with the others on the bokeh. It's so bright that it's almost a natural high key image yet it doesn't overwhelm the subject. -Doug

Yes...I like the bokeh also, but that pink headband with the sparkly sequins really adds a nice touch.

This is different - almost like she surrounded by ice sculptures, yet she looks so relaxed and natural. Penny Street

Thanks CJ, the bokeh is what I like about this pic. Brent, it's somewhat the reverse. See, her brother is on the heavy side so their parents try to get him involved in sports. Christakis, I guess she was a little shy. Thanks lady and gents for your comments. Cheers.

What a sweet picture aam -she's a cutie munching on her food and concentrating on her brother, and the background is gorgeous - nice bokeh with that lens! CJ

Excellent picture but she doesn't look amused. Was he so boring?

Very nicely done Aam. Makes me a little sad for this young girl though- I hope she's involved in some sort of game play too so the family can watch her as well?

Now we're talking! This is wonderul aam. I was hoping there would be some images like this in this challenge. I love the bokeh in this shot. ~dtallakson
