am unsure about this one... maybe I am too attached to the special moment of this to view it objectively... anyway, this is a friend of mine on the day she turned five. She is a very quiet, shy girl and holds back how she feels a lot, both words and body language... I was asking her how she felt about turning five today and then next moment she was thinking to herself and forgetting everyone else her eyes lit up and then she did this!
That's what being 5 is all about. What a great moment you caputed here of your friends daughter. For a child to be so shy and forget all that for a moment like this is just priceless.
The joy and energy she displays is delightful. The dof is right on. I think this is a charming photo and very well taken. This brought a smile to my face. Thank you for sharing! Carolyn
I just love her body language and the way her hands are touching on top. The slight softness adds to the nice mood. Very nice photo with a nice vintage feel.
