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! #7295311

Max Aureli March 23, 2009

Thank you Susana to take your time explaining how you captured this great image!!
Again, you just captured on this sensational frame the beauty of human motion... just in one frame!!
Absolutely a great capture!!
