This is absolutely precious!!! I got it in the voting booth, and had to come see who took this lovely photo! I adore this. The pretty dress, the little girlie with the earrings, the ankle bracelet and the wonderful shadow and surrounding. I just saw the other photo, and yes, this is much better cropped as you did. Magnificent!!! Thank you for something so beautiful. Your photography captured all of it.Verena
For in and out, above, about, below,
'Tis nothing but a Magic Shadow-show,
Play'd in a Box whose Candle is the Sun,
Round which we Phantom Figures come and go.
From Edward Fitzgerald's Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam
I think the little child in this shot is precious and I think you have captured the innocence perfectly:)) I really like the colors of her dress and necklace, her jewelry and how well maintained this child is.
