 I had to shoot a wedding in Queensland, and on the way back I decided to pop into Melbourne, since Perth is at the end of the earth, a stop over is always good. This little girl Sophia has been in many of my past challenges, and yes she is in my “Weeds” entry and "Martin Parr" also. She's the daughter of a good friend of mine. She's quite the little actor.

On the way to the airport we decided to visit the botanical gardens. It was a little wet but we managed to stay dry. We had intended to take photos at this park that's why Sophia is dressed up.

I'm hoping a certain person does not nit pick the blur on her right hand. I actually feels it adds to the image.

This is my favourite photo of her now.

This is so beautiful and she almost looks like a doll. My top pick for this challenge.
