Photographer’s Notes
This was my first shoot with the new D200. Off to Pike Place Market to see what kind of City Life I could find to shoot. I found a family in front of a stall which was selling ceramic dragons ... quite cute actually. The girl's mother was buying her one but she had to choose. Hard choice. I think voters may score this lower because it's not obviously "city life" but I assure you it is.
I have just started the process of bonding with the new camera. I was shooting RAW + JPG (Fine) so I had to catch a good one within the 73 photo capacity of my 2 GIG card. This is probably not the best photo I have ever taken but I liked it, so here it is for you all to opine on.

I love the lighting in this shot. Good focus on the subject. I do find the hands covering the girl's face and the "fuzzy" section in the front right detracts from the photo.
Very sweet capture, good dof, but without the title you would not be able to connect it to the challenge. Maybe a different angle that included the wishing well.
An adorable little girl with such a sweet expression. I find the hands strange though. The fingers at the edge of the frame, and the reflection of her hand. It's just awkward for me.
awww she's so beautiful, whatever is blurred there on the bottom though is distracting, i would have cropped that out..... really great expression on her face though, it really goes great with the title
It's a good shot, but I don't see a strong tie to the challenge subject. Also, the hands are too close to her eye and are a little distracting. I really like the colour and warmth of the shot though and it has an interesting crop.
