The Laughing Fisherman

Based on a 1929 poem written in the UK about a boy who laughed about his catch. Brooke the young girl was with her mother, and when she saw the camera turned and laughed as I was shooting, after the shoot, explained what I was doing and the mother agreed if I would give her a print, and this was done.

Awwwwww, I bet her mom loves this photo! I sure would if this was my child. She looks so natural and happy. What a beautiful little girl!

And thats the diffrence with the enough lighting, natural or otherwise. I voted this a 6, it would have been a easy 8 or more with better lighting in the front. I would lay odds .5 to 1 in overall score improvement.

Cute smile. It looks like the focus might be behind the statue, rather than the girl's face.

Nice capture - Nice tones but has a much more personal appeal than public.
