Ah, what a risk putting a cute kid shot into a challenge! But, I think you've managed to capture something more unique here that will hopefully appeal to the mass of voters. You've captured a moment of a story, and I can just picture what else is going on in the room. She looks happy, and that makes me smile, too. The shallow dof is great, though I wish just a little deeper to get both eyes in sharp focus. Looks like a fun moment, and a great memory for the family.

hehe. Cute. Nice focus. I wish all of the face would have been in focus though. I know how hard that can be to get though. I have a million close up portrait of my kids with the same problem. Sometimes it works to only have part of the face in focus, sometimes it does'nt. 6
