The unusual thing in the picture is that the child has 4 upper front teeth and only two lowers.. usually the lowers emerge before the uppers.. just an observation.. the picture is very pleasing and the childs expression is convincing.. I would have liked it more in color.. I tend to associate childhood with colorful stuff :) 6
Nothing wrong with the b&w conversion, but I think this might of been better left in color. Color is much more festive, and maybe more appropriate for this photo. The technicals are all spot on.
Lovely capture (as always). You can just feel the life oozing out of her. This may have been stronger in color though. Hope you post an outtake after the challenge. 7 from me.
