My wonderful daughter Amelia again. This was a random lucky capture mid-blink. It's also a total shoehorn for this challenge. I really don't think it communicates color very well, but I do think it's a great B/W, so in it goes. She was facing a big window with nothing nearby in the background.

Gorgeous Photo. The sogtness I presume is intentional to give the dreamy look (otjhers might whinge though). I Like the negative space. The crop works well. However, it doesn't really hit me with a sense of colour. I can see where you are coming from though...
I really like this photo. It is a little blurry but it's good.
It's a soft picture - 8 Also it is true babies dream in
Black and White. What a precious little one.
