 Shot on a DPC GTG at the Central Park Zoo. This beautiful 17 month old was enjoying a new wonder of life, the smile on her face just radiates through the flower. A priceless moment.

Not sure if I like the chain - on one hand it's a distraction, but it also provides some depth and location.

Cute but the chain running across head hurts the shot.

what a precious model.... and I do love baby hands... the chain over her head is distracting and having the focus point (the child) centered takes away from the composition

This absolutely adorable. Did you try croping right below the chain?

Awww, what a sweet shot! Very cute child, cute flowers and a nice expression. But that chain! Cutting across the top of her/his (can't really tell, sorry) head is very distracting. Scrolling my screen up just a bit to take it out of the shot and it makes a HUGE difference in the shot, the focus comes back to the child and the flowers they are smelling. Also the light seems just a bit harsh, natural sunlight is wonderful but can be harsh, maybe a levels or curves adjustment to soften it just a bit? A 5

Cute, but the chain across the top is a bit disturbing. Cropping it out might be an idea.

Very cute. :) The chain is a bit distracting though. Nice light angle. :)
