Brad's right - as a father of two daughters (11 and 5) I recognize that lovely passing moment. Wonderful work.

Life doesn't get much better than this. A perfect keepsake to be cherished for decades!
This is one of my top favorite pictures on DPC!

Ever post-process this in black & white? I bet it would have even more emotion in it, as colors make an image busy in many ways and can take away some of the emotive feeling in a photograph.
Edit to add:
Came back after not being able to pass up editing it.
After conversion, I adjusted neutral density of the background down a bit (darker) and lightened her face.
Brightened up her eyes a bit due to the b&w conversion. Re-cropped in a tighter 4x5 format and framed.


I can see this image, in thousands of stores, color or b&w, in the mass-merchandised pictures frames. Advertising strategies for picture frames attacks the consumers desire to want to have a picture like this of their own, a sort of feel-good kind of thing, and one could not help but to feel good looking at a picture like this.

This is 100x better than any landscape. The landscapes will still be there 100 years from now.
This moment could never be replicated and memories are all we really have.

I wouldn't crop too much from the right (or at all). right now, she has to reach for the middle of the photo. it shows her striving. she basically looks like a rocket about to take off. she'll be leaving for college next week!

very nice moment captured, I like the way she's in the middle of the photo.

Not sure where you mean, *squinting and looking for vagueness*

Great moment captured! She is definetly photogenic, and looks like she is having a blast! I think it would love awesome as a sepia too! Maybe crop a little more of the right side of the photo and a tiny bit from the top? that way all your focus is on her :)
