Inspiring Photo: - Window to her Soul

Description

My niece, captured outdoors in the
afternoon- macro setting.

I entered this in the "People" category in September,
but am going to give it another try in "MACRO" on 11/20,
as I feel it may be a better fit
due to the tight composition and focus on the
detail in her eye--- and its a fav of mine

. Thanks for looking, again! :)
