What a sensitive and compelling shot you have here.

Camera technique is of the highest caliber.

Your timing for this take is impeccable. You caught the essence of this child. She is so serious about hiding away.

The blue hat just sets the sweetest and most charming moment and it matches her eyes.

The colors are bright and vivid.

Great lighting for the telling of this youngsters story.

Good luck in the contest ... B-)) Bob

Hi Linda thanks for sharing this joyous photo shoot of this darling little girl. You have certainly captured a most angelic look on her sweet face. The exposure and lighting is perfect, and brings out that beautiful flawless complexion on her delicate little face. The look in her eyes really does tell the story. Peaking around the post on the right of the scene, I an almost imagine what she is thinking. Her mouth , slightly pursed in excitement as she peers out from under her cute blue and white hat.. The wispy pieces of hair softly bordering her face add a touch of softness around her face and a feeling of playfulness.. The jacket is a nice inclusion, giving us a better understanding of her overall appearance. The rich green background works well. It is a lovely soft contrast and makes the little girl really pop out of the picture. Her delightful full cheeks add to her beauty and that cute innocent youthful appearance. Thanks for sharing this gorgeous photo .. You have captured a very delightful expression that works perfectly with the title. a true joy to review.. best of luck in the contest. cheers mel

So adorable! She looks about the age of my youngest granddaughter. They are so fun and full of priceless looks when they're young. You did an excellent job capturing this moment, and I'm sure her mother was pleased too.
