This is the world famous sand dunes of Death Valley. And this is my 12-year-old daughter jumping with all the joy of life that she has within her. It was 6:45 AM and we had just watched the sun rise over the sand dunes. It was a magical moment to appreciate God's creation together.
Strobist info: Two off camera flashes on stands, camera left and right. Both were bare but for a 1/2 CTO warming gel. Triggered with a Nikon SU-800 commander.

Remarkably joyful and lovely shot. Very well executed, too. I like that green against the tans of DV--it really knocks my socks off. I am one of the administrators of Joy to the World and I'd really like to see this in our group pool. I think it would be most appreciated there. We are at:

Thank you,
