One of the shots that I took inside the Butterfly House in San Antonio Zoo. Thank you very much for viewing.

    Hi Jiro, I like the composition of this one - there is just enough of the girls face in the shot to show she is happy :D

    Cheers, Richard.

    Stunning! I like the comp, but must confess I'm curious to see what the rest of the girl looks like.

    I love this! I agree, it adds a little mystery, but you can see she is smiling!
    Great detail as well! solid!

    The girl on the pic is my 14-year old daughter. Just a typical Asian kid who also loves to borrow dad's Nikon d70 once in a while for fun. :D

    I hope you are showing that one to the zoo for them to use. Great composition. Maybe a little too sharpened on the hand. Other than that I love it.

    I disagree, I love how you can see the fine lines on her hand, it shows great texture and makes it look like a real photo and not some photoshoped image, where all the character is taken away. My vote is ..leave as is!

    That's a good idea. I'll try to contact them and see if they would be interested on some of my shots. Thanks! thumb.gif
