Cute image, Carolyn!!! #426227Theresa McCloskey March 16, 2004
very nice Carolyn :-) #426248Allan L. Whitehead March 16, 2004
A terrific shot well done Carolyn. Please don' tget upset, n but you know how picky I can be, I "might" have cloned out the twig in front of Emilee's face, but that's just me. This is a terrific photo as it is - Allan #426253Carolyn M. Fletcher March 16, 2004
Thanks Colleen, Rob, Colette, Theresa and Allan..I did clone it out, Allan, and also had somebody else clone it out, and I didn't like either of them. The shadow on her face just didn't look right after cloning. So I left it in. #426257Carolyn M. Fletcher March 16, 2004
Here it is with weed removed. #426281Sharon E. Lowe March 16, 2004
Carolyn - lovely shot even with the "weed"! MAkes me long for spring as we're getting ready for a big snow storm this evening.... #426287Dorothy Neumann March 16, 2004
Charming child. I love the expression you have captured, Carolyn. #426296Carolyn M. Fletcher March 16, 2004

Thought you might! #426473Donna R. Moratelli March 16, 2004
I don't know if it's just me but I didn't see the twig. I looked and looked and looked.The eye is led right to the foreground flower right in front of her nose. All I saw was what I was suppose to see even when I tried to see something else.. #426474
Carolyn M. Fletcher March 16, 2004
I like it better with the twig or weed or whatever it is in there. Glad you didn't notice it, or if you did, it didn't bother you. #426479Judith G. Secco March 16, 2004
Adorable capture.Carolyn M. Fletcher March 16, 2004

Thanks Char!! #426642Lori Ditlefsen March 16, 2004
Cute shot and I like the weed out best. It is not only lighter of her face but you really see that expression better. Nice shot! #426704Donna J. Taff March 16, 2004

Beautiful shot Carolyn.. lucky you to have such a sweet model close by! #427346Carolyn M. Fletcher March 16, 2004
Thanks Susie. She's not around all the time. Good thing, or she'd probably hate me for sticking a camera in her face every few minutes. #427402Anne D. Eigen March 16, 2004
Beautiful capture. Colors are wonderful! #427475Carolyn M. Fletcher March 16, 2004
Thanks so much, Anne! I appreciate your comment!! #427535Bonnie C. Lackey March 16, 2004
Spring is for flowers and little girls - fall is for football and little boys! Thanks for proving this to be true! #427744Darren K. Fisher March 16, 2004
What a wonderful capture here Carolyn. To me the true meaning of Spring is to stop relax and smell the flowers. You captured that very well here. #427812Carol Brill March 16, 2004
I'd sure like to feel that look of contentment on my face, Carolyn, and Darren said just what I was thinking, too! Just marvelous!! #427903Carolyn M. Fletcher March 17, 2004

Thanks everybody! Yeah, the resubmits did pretty well, so I'm glad I thought of it, too. #478968Darren K. Fisher April 12, 2004
Way to go Carolyn. #479693Gianna Stadelmyer April 14, 2004
I missed this the first time around too, but I have to weigh in on the shadow/twig debate. I like the shadowed face. It gives the photo more depth and looks more natural with the hat she has on as that would be shielding the sun from her face. The lightened one with the cloned out weed didn't look natural. Glad to see the judges liked the shadow! Congrats on this lovely portrait making the finals:-) #482404Ellen Peach April 15, 2004
This is so sweet....congrats on all your wonderful finalists and best of luck in the next round! #485336Robin L. Wehrman April 16, 2004
