Valentine is a very kind but unruly niece, she was playing and running a lot before the shoot, she really stopped and stayed at rest against the tree for 1 or 2 seconds, I took around 20 pictures before this one, and you would see it's completely different.
She was not posing, but resting tired of playing a lot... I can't catch this expression on her face anymore, unless I am lucky ...

Anyway the main goal was to give a calm mood around the shoot.
Thank you for your comment.

I think that is not really an issue, it's certainly due to the canon teleobjectif, at F4.0 and at long it is a really small range for DOF.

Thank you for your comment

that's true, it was 08:30 pm and the sun was very low, the light came from the right and the walls are yellow... (old house I am restoring/refreshing), No flash only natural light.... How to correct that kind (it was really the colors of a late afternoon i seen)...
Thank you for your comments

Thank you all for your usefull comments. As said tarique, he is just cleaning, every contest is a challenge (creativity and imagination). I try to see all around me what can be applied to the theme, sometimes it works, sometimes not. Anyway it is always exciting.
And I will try, thanks to your usefull comments, to do it better.
