 when i look at this photo i cant help but smile ..
i hope it brings a smile to other peoples faces too .. xx


some ppl might recognize chiara .. who has been entered in a few challenges in the past .. starting when she was a baby .. she is now 12 years old .. !! ..

i felt a very natural edit suited this photo .. showing her as she is without softening or other portrait type enhancements ..


btw .. the title is half of a quote ..

"Smile and the world smiles with you, cry and you cry alone"

It's a famous quote often attributed to Stanley Gordon West. It suggests that positivity attracts companionship and happiness, while sadness or negativity tends to be isolating, forcing individuals to manage their struggles privately."

Nice sharp focus overall. The tight crop works well for the challenge.
