This shot as the original wasn't anything special. It was all brought to life with post editing adding warmth and heavy on the shadowing. I was pleased with it, though, once it was altered.
Wonderful shot! I'm especially fascinated with the multiple shadows. I hope they have a framed copy of this for their wall! The only suggestion I have would be to clone out that bird that looks like it's on the child's head.
Oh what a beautiful photo! Being a relatively new grandparent, this photo really touches me! I would love to have a photo of this with our little Abby!
