Ohmygoodness! What an amazing sports shot! All those finely chiseled bodies huddled up together with all the side scenery making you feel like you are actually THERE in the moment!

Wow! THIS is photojournalism at its finest!

This is perfect! I hope you have this photo printed and framed. It's timeless. A photo like this stays a "Wow" photo long after looks change and people change. It is beautiful in any age. And the warmth of their smiles is so genuine, surely it will forever evoke a precious memory for all of you!

Comment by SandyP:
Valdo, WOW!!!! She is stunning! This is such a beautiful portrait. She looks like a magazine cover.

I know this may be just a "me-thing", but I so love a portrait of a beautiful person like this to be very closely cropped to remove ANY distractions from the beautiful subject. To me if Iliana filled the frame, cropped on the sides just around the fur on her collar, this would transform from a beautiful photo to a professional gallery piece!

FABULOUS work here, Valdo!

Oh Valdo!!!!! What a little heartbreaker! Are you praying yet that she uglies up some before she hits those teenaged years when every boy will be beating down your door for her affections? :)

And ummmmm. . .I think she should always wear pink. It makes her literally GLOW!!!!!

Perhaps humidity is responsible for the sensor issue, rather than dust. I find humidity is more trouble than dust with the 350XT. But I also find that sensor "dust" or droplets or whatever caused by humidity seem to go away of their own accord..... My experience, believe it or not.

Certainly no bad ones of THIS "under 8". That's for sure. I think I could show you a few that I've managed to screw up pretty good :) But I could look at pictures of her forever :)

This is childhood personified, and I LOVE IT!
