    + The look of discovery. It is a classic emotion.
    + This is technically hard to do, and you nailed it. You got just the reflections that mattered, and none that don't.
    - Try a tinge more contrast just on the fish tank side of the shot. It might help, it might not. Maybe you already did, I don't know.
    Please feel free to post any reworks you do of my images. Crop, skew, munge, edit, share.

    I lovew this image BD. The comp and the focus are just about perfect and the look on the girl's face is classic.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    This is good bd.

    I usually don't look at untitled, but I'm glad I looked at this one

    Well exposed and the viewer is engaged... nice.

    Very nice. Dare I say, I'd like it as much in black and white, maybe better?mwink.gif

    Well, Seastack, you know that I am a crackwhore for black and white, but I just couldn't and can't see how this one isn't a color image. But...I did convert it for you, and it becomes a very different image. To my eye, it goes from being a scene, in which the toddler is a part, to being a photo of the toddler, surrounded by 'stuff.'

    Yes I do agree ,but the B & W gives the toddler better treatment and I see the toddler as being the subject of the image and is deserving of all the attention the photographer can give it. The fish adds context but nothing more.

    For me the B & W makes the expression of fascination,wonderment,and awe really pop. In any event a fabulous image !
