My wife and daughter were the Art Directors for this photo of my granddaughter, who was enticed to head into the field after her stuffed toy got thrown out there. I had no idea what picture they wanted me to take until Allie got out there and I saw her in my viewfinder! I took over 20 photos, but the ones with her face in it showed the dreaded pacifier. Also, this was her "shoes are evil torture devices" stage.

Superb! There's so many nice things to say about this! Depth of field--right on! Motion blur on that little leg taking its next step! Colors--so crisp and realistic! And look at the skin on that baby! No question, one of the best characterizations of a young child I've ever seen.
