Paul, in one word: stunning!!! A photographic painting! Regards, Cornelius
PS: I have to conclude that your little daughter must have an artistic feeling as well. A proper Dutch saying for that is: "De appel valt niet ver van de boom!"
I think I can decipher Cornelius' Dutch as "The apple doesn't fall far from the tree"? Now, you have to put a camera into your daughter's little hands as well! Such a lovely collection and assortment of elements embodying the innocence of childhood in it's creation. She must get some of this creativity from her mother no doubt. Wonderful image, Paul. Is this with the 40D? Oh yes, it makes a wonderful DT!
You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

How could you not like it? There's so much too look at and the array of colors are really cool. Ahhhhhh, if we could only see the world through the eyes of a child. I guess this shot gives us a glimpse. Great post.
Anything that excites me for any reason, I will photograph; not searching for unusual subject matter, but making the commonplace unusual.

It's hard to believe that a child could present such a sophisticated array. Your capture of it is superb, of course, but the composition is outstanding...she's one to watch!!

Your daughter has a great eye for artistic composition, and you know how to capture anything clearly, sharply, and bring out the colors! ;) Added to my favorites, very unique.
