Wow...thanks for the votes and the ribbon. This was a beautiful session I had with the sweetest 3 year old. Mom and dad now have this printed in a large canvas on their wall. I remember when my kids were this small.....the title said it all for me. These moments of childhood are fleeting.....they grow up way to fast.

i was actually looking thru Anita's favourites and came on this ..
blew me away .. the most beautiful portrait of a child .. and one that will be treasured by the family for years to come .. :)
Have always loved your work, and words cannot describe how much I love this. And you are so right about the title. Congratulations on the well deserved finish!
This image has caused me to stop and pay attention. That means it is in my 7-10 voting band. (Voted earlier)
Additionally, it is highly interesting/eclectic meaning it keeps me here long enough to offer a longer comment and a vote of 8 or more.
This is one of my 10s - I like it very much. Furthermore I think it enriches the DPC collective portfolio. Put simply, I wish we saw more stuff like this. Let me tell you why it pushes all the right buttons for me:
1. The superb fall off of focus.
2. The endearing subject.
3. The Noctilux-like swirly bokeh.
4. the lovely tones.
5. The well chosen vignette.
A gorgeous shot overall, I love it. When I went to do my second look through I couldn't help but to wonder about the colored version. I'll bet you were torn between the two, maybe not. I couldn't say the other would of been better, not having seen the other, and because I like this one so much. Great job.
These Moments Are Fleeting
