This was a photo I took when one of my best friends visited. I had just got my EOS300D, so was playing around with it. This was taken from the ground (obviously), with me laying on my tummy. He loves to play almost rough with her. But she loves it more!!

Little did I realise how much I would love this photo. It was only after I looked at it several times that I saw what I really liked about it.

I love the contrast of colours between the ball & the grass, but also the dramatic angles caused by the perspective of the shed in the background. It seems to make the world look so much bigger from a childs point of view. The other thing I love about this photo is Elanor (Samantha's lil sister) in the background off doing her own little thing.

Any comments/critiques welcome.

Fun shot! I'm a big fan of getting low on kid shots with a wide angle. It helps remind us how big the world is at that age. Not to threadjack, but here's one of my niece at Hilton Head Island using a similar technique.
