Poor little Stella. I hope she is feeling better by now. A very nice documentary image. I like her closed eyes and the pacifier that seems to say that at times like this just getting through them is the main consideration.

Poor sweetie. She certainly isn't looking like her normal cheerful and active self. I hope it didn't get much worse than this. I think the pacifier is a nice comforting tool for her during this time.

thanks a lot Grace; she is doing better

Comment from Linda Engel
Bless her heart. I feel for her. Here in the US they give shots for it and I think it is wrong. Let the child get them and get immune. Lots of calamine lotion or aloe juice. These are really close to her eyes . be careful. now they want us adults who have had the pox to get vaccinated against Shingles. Can't win for scratching.

thanks a lot Linda for your nice comments;
with very few exception, it is a very mild infection and natural infection results in a better immunization;

I remember the days when parents wanted their children to have chicken pox

Comment from alaskapat
Poor baby, all broken out with chicken pox! She is fast asleep which is good to help her feel better, her pacifier for comfort. It is best to get these now. I hope she is feeling better and all healed up very fast!

Yes, better catch it when young! Your full and central portrait provides us with a good look at this childhood problem. Exposure and sharpness are fine. Well done!

Sorry to see your granddaughter is down with the chicken pox. You always take some lively shots of her. I hope that she gets over them quickly and is back to her lively self.

Poor little Stella covered in that itchy rash of Chicken Pox that I remember only to well...... Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus. May she make an uncomplicated recovery.
