This has such a 19th Century feel to it (Turner, Constable, etc.). Lovely to look at. Wondering if those are fires on the distant mountains, or wayward clouds, sneaking down to earth to sniff at the pine scent.

Gorgeous scene. I really enjoy how the greens are coming up through the browns.

I thought to myself when I saw this image..."that looks alot like the bridge that I use to photograph some people". Sure enough it is....I love that walk....fun to go there in the summer to when the water is not rushing so hard. This image was taken from that same bridge looking down.

Great job and I love the toning and expression of your daughter. She is beautiful!!

I am participating in the "Why a '5' not a '6'?" commenting activity (see recent forum thread). Viewers are asked to leave a comment with some of their votes of '5' letting the photographer know why, for them, it fell short of a vote of '6'. If you have found this comment useful, you may wish to offer some of your own to those images where you vote 5.

Her expression is beautiful, and the warm sepia processing with the blurred background are spectacular. It has a vintage feel to it. As such, I admit to being a little disappointed at seeing a very modern toy in her hands (I have a small screen and had to scroll down to find it). In fact, I didn't realize it was a camera until I saw your title.

Is this your daughter? My personal quibbles aside, this is an endearing candid, something to be proud of and share.

Great use of leading lines at the side. Shame it looks sightly soft but really nice none the less
