 This is my daughter Madison. She is now six years old and has grown into this beautiful girl right before my eyes. This is the first picture I have really taken in months. I am feeling a little more energized to take pictures again, so hopefully I will be submitting a little more frequently.

This is Madison in my Best of 2004 picture:

Wow... it just really blows me away how big she has gotten.

I love the expression. I'd like to see her left arm fully in the frame.

Fantastic title and I know just what you mean. It's bittersweet. Nice shot. I'm not crazy about the crop but lovely none-the-less.

You can never take a picture of someone under 8 or over 80 that is not a gem...and this one proves that point, terrific picture.
