love this shot... pure fun of a little girl......just like we used to do in the old days....lol.... pre all the hoo haa about a naked child, to me it's still the most precious thing of a child 's youth......we were born naked, then we played naked..... a very comfortable situation... thanks for being brave to put it on, as i have many of these shots too.... makes you wonder why people have a 'thing' with it ?, she's not doing anything, you can't even see her face.....
great work..... need more fun shots like this.....

I have been reserving comment on this photo all week. I haven't been able to come up with the words I want to use to describe what I see here. First of all, this is an excellent image. It screams of the innocence of childhood. The theme of 'boldy going' seems to indicate a small child in a large world... exploring.... The composition of this photo feels a little cramped, which somewhat contraditcs that theme possibly... just some food for thought...

A wonderful angle in which to make this lovely capture.

i want to say my critique would be a different angle, larger crop, maybe being closer to the ground and the girl farther away.. but then again I don't like to see these sort of subjects so large in an image, its almost crossing the line.... 6

Awsome photo! Nice contrast of the blue/orange. I think the texture in the background creates another element that gives this photo depth. Congrats on the top 10 placing!

This is just precious! You've done the black and white perfectly here - the way the foreground, subject, and background contrast is excellent; the child really stands out against the grass(?). Texture on the wood is fantastic, and the framing for this works, though I would like to see just a little more space above the child's head. Regardless, this is a great shot!
