Donna, this is an absolutely fantastic capture! The contrast of the water and sand, the playfulness of the little girl and her shadow, the detail and the comp combine for a great image. Well seen and captured! #8585872Nikki McDonald May 12, 2010
I know it's not at all original to make this my favorite of your April entries but I just can't resist -- the crispness, the moment and motion captured, the shadow echoing her play, it all works for me. As always you have beautiful sunset and flower shots. I also love Poetic -- it was almost my pick for its crisp detail and beautiful color and reflection and -- and your captures of your beautiful daughter. Among the Flowers is my favorite. Good luck this month. #8606187Donna La Mattino Pagakis May 13, 2010
