Very cute gril, selective focus with large aperture make you concentrate on her eyes.

Nothing really to add to the fine comments already made except I sure like this photo.

Captivating. If photography is really about what light does to the subject, this is a fine picture. The highlight on her hair, coupled with the soft, even light on her face are gripping, especially to a granddad. I love the innocent look paired with the color and slightly-awry clothing. This is the way sweet kids really look. Wonderful catch lights.

On sighting the thumbnails this is the one I wanted to enlarge first. It's outstanding.

I realize that it is tough to tell from the web, but how well will this shot stand up to enlargement? I like the colors the Kodak has rendered and the extra speed would be nice on occasion.

Good lighting, excellent eye contact and beautiful selective focus. Nice work.

The softness (the feel of the portrait, not the focus) of this portrait is outstanding ! Babies are wonderful subjects and you've captured that innocence perfectly!
