 I did the high key thing with Taylor the other day and figured I'd get Cartesia to post today so I could get one of her. Her fever's gone so no posing. The little dynamo is back on track.

Taylor and Cartesia were playing and I wanted to get a picture. But then the play got a bit rough and I said I wouldn't take the picture - I don't want to encourage such behavior by taking pictures of it.

Taylor gets upset and sits to the left of the fireplace. Cartesia sits down practically on top of her. Taylor, still in a huff, moves to the right. Cartesia scoots over like you see in this picture. I think their expressions say it all.

Being a parent is not for sissies! Great capture.

I love their expressions. Don't know if it was "captured" or if you added it, but the blur on either end is kind of distracting to me. Oddly, my eyes keep going there and away from the girls. Maybe if it were a bit rounder and more progressive -- from heavy to subtle, it would feel a bit more natural. Nonetheless, an awesome shot of the two of them.

The story made me laugh. I remember when my older sister and I used to get into fights and rough plays. The expressions--priceless! Very nice colors and focus.

Priceless, Ken! Love how you've focused on them sitting in the fireplace by adding the vignette - is that a vignette? - except for the modern clothes, it could be like something from a fantasy story.

Tee hee. . .yes. . .that's the look I get whenever I try to get my family to pose for me! Always have. Always will. Cartesia is so adorable the way she looks like she's just wishing her big sister would play with her again.

What precious kids you have!

Oh, siblings!!! I deal with the same issues with my two boys, but with one being 7.5 years older, he tends to "win out" every time. LOL I like the DOF!!! Tell those girls when they are old and gray that all they'll have in the world is each other, so they'd better learn to like it. ;~D

This really captures the emotions of the moment. Definitely a slice of life worth saving.

Sisters. This is perfect. The blur makes it look a little more like a cave than a fireplace, which is kinda cool.
