this has a nice intimate feel to it but I am not sure about the pose of the dad. I do like the close crop though. It may be the conversion whne resized for the web, but it also seems a little soft, particularly on the little one.
Nice image though, i'd like one like this of me with my daughter!
A parent's love, tenderness, the curious excitement of little girls, even her barely controlable energy as wiggles for freedom. I understand your pride if she is your daughter, but the picture just falls short of emoting it.
Nicely composed and lit shot in my opinion. The only thing I would personally change would to have a slightly smaller border. For me, the larger white border detracts and is too close to the large white backgroudn area, but again, very nice interpretation of pride indeed. 8
