I gave this photo one of your 9's: the highest score this photo recieved. Even though it is a photo that I did not care for very much, I voted it high because I thought it fit the challenge well. Many voters must have not seen your intent: I don't like when that happens. So, I'm saving it as a 'Favorite Photo' so I can remember what a 'Secret Smile' is. The funny part is that one never knows why they are exactly smiling - sorry...

I took a picture of my sister, her husband and their baby in the garden while it was sunny.
I told them hold dead still and they did. Simple as that.

Afterwards I simply cropped on her face as she had a cool expression.

Beautiful Picture. You captured the right amount of the subject and the facial expression made this picture as far as I am concerned
