You have a couple great shots of a very speical young lady. Love her blue eyes. The composition in the second one appeals to me but the cookie in her mouth is great.

Look at those eyes!! I love the way the cracker is poking out of her mouth. I remember my kids doing that.

Is that an amber teething necklace in the second photograph?

Simply beautiful SaraJane.

The lighting and sharpness of your daughter's eyes makes the first one my favourite. The catchlights are beautiful and I just love the rice cake.

The second shot is just that little bit softer, but her eyes are equally as gorgeous and the beads are a nice touch. I love the curiosity in her expression too!

Great shots, thanks for posting them!

Wonderful, Sara Jane! It is easier than we thought, isn't it? Two very beautiful photos -- the cookie in the mouth is priceless. Love the composition of the second as well. And oh, those eyes!

Great shots, SaraJane!! Very nice work in manual mode. You have already acquired a great command of the camera! TFS
