How is it that there are no comments on this photo? I love it. The feel of it is pure joy. How can that smile not be infectious? I like the angle, too. It adds to the fun of the image. As far as criticism, I think the composition could be tightened up a little. There's a bit more sky than necessary. It ends up being a bit of wasted, dead space. And the blown out, highlight area on her chest bothers me. I don't know if it's the scan or the original exposure. But holding some of that detail might be the difference that makes this a near perfect photo. I'd try to get that detail and see how much it improves the image.
Thanks for sharing this one. It deserved it's Featured Photo status.

i dont think the highlights on the chest area are a problem. it seems to go along with the high contrast in the rest of the image. i think the highlights in the teeth might be a bigger concern, they are very distracting. good emotion, good composition.portfolio
