Good shooting, Richard. Elliott Erwitt would love this one.

Truly awesome, Richard - But......I'd work a little on trying to make the little girl stand out a bit more from the background. But really - fantastic shot. clap

Thanks, guys. Much appreciated. I try to avoid doing local adjustments out of sheer laziness, but yeah BD, it probably would benefit from brightening up her face some. I'll give it a shot in the morning.

Love this one. But what is the girl carrying? If she were an adult, the next shot would be one of her disposing of the bottle with the caption, "I'm giving it up..."

Rainbow, Obviously it's a wine bottle and the kid's taking slugs out of it as she goes along. That head's going to call for a long chug.

Great shot. I didn't notice the little head at first. Perfect timing to capture such a moment. Right place at the right time and with a camera ready to boot.

This would have been a great recent candidate for the photo association (the dgrin game!)! Love it.

And the fact that there is also a smaller version of the head on a stand to the right of the child ( as per bfjr)!

Richard, you have out done yourself!

Thanks so much, everyone. Glad you all enjoyed it.

At full resolution, it's not a wine bottle, but I much prefer that interpretation. Per BD's suggestion, here's a slightly tweaked version:

The difference is not enormous, but I think it helped some.

I agree, thanks for the bump!

Love the photo, the look on the girl's face, and the second smaller head on the right side!

Wow, blast from the past. Glad to see it revived for those who missed it the first time around. It's one of my all-time favorites.
