alfresco asked if this was posed or just 'snapped'.
It is posed. She was resting in the corner of the pool, so I leaned way way down and got close. I just happened to be there waiting when she slowed down long enough for an above the water photo. LOL
Wow this picture definetly is gorgeous. Her big beautiful eyes, ears, the way the whole frame is symmetrical, balanced. I don't think you could have done anything else to make this shot any better, its a picture well taken!
Ah, you are so so so so so very good! Your daughter is beautiful, too. The thing that I like the very most about this (besides those eyes!) is the framing of your composition. It's so cool with the triangular shape of the swimming pool corner, underscored by your daughter's arms and hands. I see that it's time to make you a favorite photographer - can't believe you're not in there yet! LONG past due.
