My daughter Amelia looking out our front window. She is just now tall enough to stand there and be able to see out.

*post-challenge: Thanks for all the kind words and votes! For awhile I thought I might have had a chance at a ribbon, but I'll take a top ten. This is definitely a photo I will always treasure.

I'm sure you've heard the saying 'Curiosity killed the cat'. What most people don't know is the other half - 'Satisfaction brought him back'. I doubt you need it but I hope you'd be satisfied with a 10.
Awwww.....this really shows a curious and energetic personality. Love the shot. I think that perhaps, a bit too much window is shown here and might have been best, cropped a little lower??? Just commenting, not scoring
This is very nice. I love natural window light, and with the soft baby's face and expression, the mood of this photo is very comforting. Nice choice on the black and white. My only "could have been better" comment would be regarding the space above the subject. Maybe a little tighter crop.
I love the use of the window for natural light. And quite frankly your model makes this photos work. This is a great shot that any parent would love in their home.
