I love the second photo. I agree with FoG, it's magazine quality. The look of concentration and determination on your daughter's face is priceless., (I assume #481 is your daughter.) Congratulations to her on a great finish to a well run race and congratulations to you on surely a family album bound photo.

Nice action shots. In the second shot, poor thing looks in pain, but concentrated on what she's doing. Very nice.

Thanks for the nice comments all. She was in some pain as you saw in the 2nd shot. Her hipo has been giving her trouble but she fought through it and we are very proud of her.

Nice cap in the second one, dlalonde! You can see the anguish in her face. Very powerful! Thanks for sharing!
