 I was out in my yard shooting photos of dandelions for the transitions challenge. I looked up and saw my youngest daughter blowing the seeds from the dandelions. It was definitely a 'picture perfect' moment.

One of my favorites in this challenge. You daughter is absolutely beautiful. You captured this wonderful moment beautifully! Surely should have scored lots higher!

Excellent, and woefully underrated. I suspect (without reading the comments) that voters either thought it "posed" or too bright. To me it is neither - it's a sweet moment very well captured.

Cute photo, but it looks a little posed to me. I will give the benefit of the doubt :P

Nice capture - Nice and sweet but a little close for her not to notice the camera maybe? Still a nice shot.

Very pretty...but not what the voters probably want. However, as a portrait...you did well.

This looks like a carefully prepared shot, not a candid. Remember, all I know is what it looks like.

Lovely image though not quite a candid in my own opinion. Excellent composition though
