Also my favorite - the best in this gallery. Perfect connection and perfect technique.

Definitely the best shot of your mini series on little Ciara :-) Kind of agree with Mary on the composition. Nonetheless, the key is the connection and you'd conveyed it very well, with her expressive eyes and the reaching hands. Brilliant.

Handing a ball is a gift, more it is a promise

Hey, it is that munchkin again - the one from your little series...what a fun shot...I am a bit uncomfortable with the crop on her...I wonder if cropping her solidty into the corner would help? Right now I feel a definite sense that she lost her feet...if you crop into the corner it might feel mor deliberate, I am not sure...it also might enhance the parallels between adult hand reaching in and down and her reaching up...it would certainly solidify the diagonal, I think...

The amazing in this image is her eyes.
Beautiful look! I like your crop too.

The expectation and the confidence in the eyes of Ciara to get the ball...an enchanting moment of life!

Beautiful complicity, beautiful moment caught, with those hands together. Eyes are fantastic.
Great framing.
