This shot is just so right on so many levels I can't list them all. Love the pping, love her smile and her spirit that transcends the photo. What a gift to give your son and his remark shows that you must guide/teach by doing on a regular basis.

I didn't vote on this challenge .. I have been away from DP for quite awhile .. but if I had, I would have given it an 8 and that's way above my average .. I would have voted it high for these reasons .. it suits the challenge perfectly, it's a great subject - interesting and so many great textures .. the processing is done very well, not over the top - the composition is excellent .. a wonderful find by a photographer with a fine eye.

I'll do it myself!

It's a wonderful photo especially considering how close you had to get using the lens you did - great detail. inspired framing .. all this detail and color in basic? Deserved a much higher score.
