The thing that grabs me about this image is that her clothes are the only true black in the image. It's a sort of reverse of the usual trick of making the subject the brightest part of the image to get the viewers focus. Congrats on the top 10, the effect works marvelously.
Get her a P&S.

This was taken on the same day as the Head Wear challenge. Nadine_Vb is so smart and I'm thrilled there is actually someone who recognized an image of MINE. Wow, I'm honored. Thank you paulbtlw, I took a look at njsabs' work and I appreciate the reference and she is now one of my fav photogs. And no, Ja-9, she did not catch a cold. In fact, she would run right back to me to take a look at the image on the back of the camera (preview screen) to see how it looked. If she wasn't happy with it, she would insist that we shoot it again. All at the tender age of 5. Lord help me when she's 15!!! Thanks for the comments folks! Kim
