Luscious image, interesting bokeh. White shape left bothers me a LOT

Comment by Artyste:
35th.. bah.. deserved much higher of course.

I think you're suffering from "everyone knows gracie" and "enough with the kids already!"

Voters are so fickle. My favorite of the challenge, but mostly because I can resist that face!

Comment by parrothead:
Thanks soo much for all the positive comments and support! Gracie thanks you also! Another of my resolutions is to get her a ribbon this year. Hopefully she'll grace all the spots in my top rated photos eventually. I know kid portraits don't do all that well in challenges.....but thats what I do, and what I LOVE. All of the top shots deserved their placings! Well done everyone!

I hope this does well in the voting because it is a wonderful photo. Technically, I love the composition, focus, DOF, levels and the lighting (although the background portholes distract a little. But more than that, I really like the emotion you've captured (mostly in the face and eyes) of playing a game that's FUN! Very well done. Hope it ribbons.
