My daughter taken at dusk with her new necklace.

That is such a sweet shot! With that hair and those eyes I am thinking you're doorbell will wear in out 15 years.

I put it to you, Sir, that you are going to be in serious trouble in 10 - 12 years. She is such a cutie and will, I'm sure, blossom into a gorgeous young lady.

My father used to be in the practice of cleaning his shotgun each time my sister brought a new guy around the house. Dad never had an opportunity to use the weapon and never really threatened anyone, but he never had a problem with guys giving my sister a hard time.

Just a thought!

Oh, and about the picture - wow the light is just about perfect. You have highlights, soft shadows, catchlights, and a very smooth brokah! WOW

A very beautiful child and wonderfully captured! Great light!

Thanks, Scott. I appreciate the comments. I'm not real happy with how I blew the highlights in her sweater, but the lighting was changing too quickly for me with the sun going down.

I love the bokeh of the 85mm, f1.4. Unfortunately, my keeper rate with this lens is quite low due to it's shallow DOF and operator error!:cry

Thanks for the kind words. I got lucky that night with the lighting which was only this nice for a few minutes.

She is beautiful! She reminds me of what Goldie Hawn may have loked like when young!
The photo is a wall hanger for sure......

She is so cute that I didn't even notice the blown sweater. And, I usually look for things like that!
