Hi David,
Just waking up and seeing this smile, my day is already a great succes after seeing this. What a joy, what a smile, thanks for a perfect start of the day.
Great framing and exposure, her eye through her hair, perfect. A great captured portrait.

Hi Dave - Great portrait! Lucky you to have been blessed with that sweet sunshine of a smile! :) 1/640 is fast... Was the light really bright? I'd love to know why you chose that speed. I'm trying to work on my people shots. Not too sucessfully I might add. :) Kind Rgds, Leilani

Sooo cute ! Gaps in the mouth of children have always fascinated me - I would have liked to see a bit more of the BG, to get an idea of the context though but otherwise : disarming smile, really !
Compliments,
Cath.

Hi Dave,
Lovely spontaneous expression of this little girl! Her hairstyle is quite wild and adds to the cuteness!

Hi David, the tight crop works well. Her eyes look a little soft and I wonder whether you have focused on her hair. Perhaps a smaller apertuure would have made the softness less noticable? cheers, Steve

Hi David. You have caught one of those contagious smiles, I’m sure everyone who looks at this shot can’t help but smile. They say a good photo should elicit an emotional response, this must be a great photo! Thanks for sharing.
Cheers, Paul.

What a wonderful, natural shot with her tousled hair from her bath and the missing tooth so common for her age. The light was just right for some light/shade contrasts on her face and jumper. I love the tight framing at the right side. Very good work

Hello David! I was just briefly going through the Indian section when she came up with her huge smile, and it made me smile back. She is beautiful and I am glad you took the invitation and brought back this special moment. It makes me melt on this Sunday afternoon when I actually have piles of laundry to fold and iron ... I gave up and I am glad. I like how she looks through her hair, so she can hide a little bit if necessary. Excellent, I love it. Barbara.
