I would have to agree with what everyone has said! Wonderful chil portrait and the lighting is perfect. What time of day did you capture this, and where was the sun? I am trying to perfect my natural lighting, it's difficult and of course it's something not learned over night, and you pulled it off...I love this photograph! It should win! Great job! #3051702Tamera S. Phillips July 19, 2006
