I refuse to be anything other than a three year old. It's too much fun.
Great capture.

:D Very good moment. Wait until she grows up to 20 years old and then show her this photo. ;)

Liz, this is such a great photo! It captures everything that is great about childhood!

BTW, while we each deal with the flow of the years in our own way, Looking back from my current age (47) where I am still very happy, my 30's were really the best years of my life. I finally started feeling comfortable with who I was, competent in my chosen career and better able to relate to people.

That's awesome. As another chick approaching 30 (only another year and a half) I think it's great that we can be adults but still find digging for gold hilarious. Kids are great reminders of why one should never take themselves too seriously, and you totally captured that here.

I like this – it’s cheeky.

I would have preferred a more B&W tone.

Still, it gets my vote – my first saveme !

I like it, lovely child portait, but I don't like the sepia tones...b&w convertion?, kind of noisy.

OldUncleMe says:

You just know that she'll love this photo when she becomes a young adult. I recommend making lots of large prints of it as gifts for all her friends!

Of course, it's a little tight, and part of being a good photographer is using your faculty for discrimination, rather than just publishing any old ugly moment -- unless you wish someone harm!

(no harm intended here -- I resurrected this from my old prints much more about sort of my own personal moment than hurting the younger sister of a close friend - ? - )

expatty says:

Too tight, too noisy, and the tone makes her look ashen. I like the nose wrinkles, though.

good shot...and I doubt much emotional scarring will occur here...but too tight a crop and blown highlights.

cute. Was the grain on purpose? Bad scanner?

Bukutgirl says:

scanned from a print that's pretty old - the scanner probably has something to do with it as well

really hard to be objective with such a cute subject
too grainy yes, too cropped maybe

really hard to decide

too hard for a saveme

Oh, man, seems like you've been good for a while! Look at that straight gaze you got from the beautiful piglet.

Ha. You should frame it and give it to her when she turns 30, would be one of the best presents on that day.
