The younger of my two daughters, Shelby, at Burlington Beach. Taken on her fourth birthday. She's got a great arm. This is one of my favourite photos, an ~8x10 print of it sits on a shelf by our fireplace.

I've seen this before - don't remember where - I still love it - excellent capture and a great image to cherish always - her pink shoes add just the right touch and she has great form :)
nice capture, great texture, interesting color, great dof, blacks need desperate help, whites ok, light nice, good lines, great comp, overall a good pix
The unnatural looking color of the sky is the one thing I don't like about this photo. It just rips you away from the scene and the action, and that's not a good thing.. because it's a sweet and fun moment in itself.
The PP sky is a little bit over the top for my taste, just looks unnatural and there is a very visible line along the horizon and around her hair that shows where your lasso tool (or whatever you used) was when dividing the two areas for the editing so if you are going to do something like this (wich I encourage cause it looks promising, just too much this time), take steps to cover up your tracks, even if you have to do it pixel by pixel viewing the shot at 100%
Everything else is pretty good, I like the composition and "feel" of the picture so even though I hate the sky I gave it a 6.
