Do you know I still watching with pleasure this image, Susana???Susana Ms Heide March 17, 2009
Thank you Max! I hadn't really "planned" this capture. It was taken about 2 or 3 years ago on our annual Easter family picnic in the apple orchard. My daughters had gotten matching dresses for Easter and we were taking a walk in the orchard (me with camera in hand, of course). They started twirling telling mom to take some pictures... and this is the result... Just a real slice of life and I think that's what makes this image special! Thank you again, Max! #7295311Max Aureli March 23, 2009
Thank you Susana to take your time explaining how you captured this great image!!Max :-)
