Ladybug

My daughter's nickname is Ladybug. And she is beautiful!

I am working on a project with my kids and need your help. If you live in the United States, please check out this link to my postcrossing blog for details (look in the sidebar under 50 States Challenge):

@shahab: Thank you! I had natural light coming from the right and a full spectrum spot light below her face on the left to fill in the shadows. First time I have tried that!

@DaveB: Thanks Dave, I think! I have never heard "cracking" before, but I am assuming it is a good thing. Thanks for stopping in :0)

Nicely composed shot with terrific light.

@Michael Rawluk: Thanks Michael. You are always too kind! She does have great eyes if I do say so myself!

Deedark from Northern England, United Kingdom

Great Picture - I love the the eyes looking one way while the head is slighhtly turned the other way
Gives the impression she just glanced at you and the picture was taken.

@Deedark: Thanks for the compliment. She poses naturally, so she can give the "look!" She actually had 6 teeth removed that day, which is why she is not smiling!
