 A candid. I saw this girl and her family in the park. Suddenly, she broke away and ran up a small hill covered in autumn leaves. I knew something was about to happen, pointed the camera, and got focus just as she started running down the hill. I took the shot.

To me, this image captures the essence of childhood... a moment of unrestrained joy and the change of seasons.

I would like to experiment more with Advanced Editing techniques in the future for images like this, but I'm not the least bit unhappy with how this came out.

A closer crop could better display the joy in this child's expression.

She looks like she's running to mommy or daddy, who just pulled up in the driveway, coming home from work. I love the expression of joy you captured on her face. Reminds me a little of one of my own favorite shots.
