Candid in the crowd while at the zoo.

I have a tendancy to search for happy, smiling faces when out & about.
(actually my wife spotted her ahead of us while in line to see the Pandas)

Wouldn't the world be a better place if more people smiled?

Just beautiful. It looks like it was taken in a studio!

The post processing is inspiring. It was a great picture but now it is extraordinary.

Amazing.
I agree with some of the comments before me that you have perhaps gone a little too 'smooth'.
What techniques did you use for this might i ask?

Fantastic picture none the less.

I do agree on going a tad too far on the smoothing. (No Neat image/similar)
Fun to play and see what can be wrestled out of a snapshot.

This is such a wonderful candid portrait. A fantastic smile - and as a viewer you wonder about what makes her smile that way.

The only minor thing I'm not crazy about: You've "neated" it a little too much for my taste. She almost looks too perfect - or maybe even a little artificial (I know I'm probably alone with my opinion here, but I think neatimage/noiseninja and other tools like that are used too much these days)

But, it's still a fantastic picture and I'll fav. it at once :-)

Well I guess I really need to focus on more than just the animals at the zoo. Beautfiul capture and stunning editing.

Once again, Melethia has said just what I was going to say. If I could take studio shots to rival your candids, I'd be a happy camper. :)

And yes, smiles that like would improve my world, anyway!

Thanks - I do too ;)

If I can't take a decent picture, I'll just wrestle one out of it with PS, sometimes kicking & screaming.

Was about toss it too until I realized the crop.

That's a candid? Looks like a professionally lit studio portrait! Awesome capture!
