I was watching a marriage party at the nearby marina from my balcony. I had the camera out incase a good shot came by. I saw the girl run to the bride holding out the flowers, unfortunately, I was too far to get a closeup of her even with a 300mm lens. She was the only subject in the frame.

Lovely picture. The misty, unfocused quality really adds to it. I'd love to see to whom this girl is bringing these flowers off screen.

so nice - so well an answer to the challenge - a pitty that it misses sharpness
03/16/2004 08:27:22 AM
Lovely.
03/16/2004 01:44:46 AM
Nice atmosphere....
03/15/2004 07:52:45 AM
This is a sweet photo. It needs to be in focus, though.
03/14/2004 04:13:08 PM
Nice shot but way to soft and blurry
03/14/2004 10:40:40 AM
What a beautiful little girl!

interesting take on the challenge...good crop and composition...focus is touch too soft
03/13/2004 08:10:14 PM
I like the haze/ soft focus.
03/13/2004 03:37:13 AM
To bad not in focus
03/13/2004 12:18:58 AM
nice image, good color, but fuzziness will not be tolerated! I swear if the worst subject on the planet was submitted if it was well exposed and in perfect focus it would do well.
03/12/2004 10:20:47 PM
Out of focus or oversoftened!,nice happy girl composition 6!
03/12/2004 07:57:53 PM
Superb composition marred by poor focus. This picture has great potential and should be reposed with crisp focus.
03/12/2004 06:32:17 PM
a little too blurry. Nice color and composition
03/12/2004 03:29:22 PM
Cute model. A little soft on the focus. I like the composition and colors.
03/12/2004 12:45:32 PM
This would have been a nice shot if it had been more in focus.
03/12/2004 11:22:58 AM
the girl is soft/out of focus - something is not right, particularly in her face. also, this is an action shot, the action should be off frame.
03/12/2004 07:42:50 AM
This is terrible. Fuzzy, etc.
03/11/2004 11:07:27 PM
Cute kid, too bad the photo is not focused well. DOF is not so good. But cute girl.
03/11/2004 04:25:01 PM
Cute, but a bit more sharpness would have helped.
03/11/2004 02:05:12 PM
Beautiful little girl...a little blurry though. I really like the picture.
03/11/2004 11:03:40 AM
this idea is great, shot seems to be blurred
03/11/2004 09:45:27 AM
Very cute picture, and I would rate it higher except for not being quite in focus. Also could be cropped more closely.
03/10/2004 07:33:45 PM
sweet
03/10/2004 07:18:25 PM
Really nice. I thought she was giving flowers to her mom, My daughters thought she might be in a weding. I love that you can see the light hitting her face.
03/10/2004 05:27:21 PM
Cutie but the focus is very soft.
03/10/2004 04:45:04 PM
Nice! - 6
03/10/2004 02:29:14 PM
Nice picture - appears to be a lot of digital 'noise' in the picture. I really like the colors of the girl's outfit and the way it matches the tones of the water in the background.
03/10/2004 12:58:27 PM
If only your beautiful model were in focus! You seem to have got it from a good angel considering the direction of the sun, the color and refletion of the sea is good and it tones nicely to the girls dress, maybe lite more colorsaturation would have been better. But the main subject has do be in focus for this image to be very good.
03/10/2004 11:43:53 AM
This is so sweet, it too bad it's so blurry!
03/10/2004 11:24:00 AM
I love this shot... I wish it were clearer and in better focus.... the pose is wonderful and the composition is good. Her expession is so captivating. Would neat image have helped the background a bit?
03/10/2004 08:57:19 AM
Nice thought, great smile, wish it was a bit sharper.
03/10/2004 03:16:12 AM
a little soft?
03/10/2004 01:23:58 AM
Nice composition and colors, and a beautiful expression on her face. I think the focus is too soft here.
03/10/2004 12:12:15 AM
Nice take on the theme, but the focus is a little too soft.
