I like it :)

Nitpicking I know.... I can't tell re the blackberry thing, because of the sepia. Also I don't like the eyes appearing shut at your angle.

I'd like it better without the smile... She obviously knew you were there.

Right, the smile detracts from it a bit. I think it would be better if it was more candid, with her not smiling for the camera. A little smile, something like "Oh, that's a nice, juicey berry!" would look natural. But her smile seems to say, "He's taking my picture... again! Oh, you!" :) But maybe that's just my wife. :)

I don't mind the smile that much. It's reminiscent of my smile when picking a certain "herb" here in Northern California 8-)

You are SO right. We both just got new cameras and he follows me around snapping shots CONSTANTLY. I am amused by it...and am trying to learn to be more comfortable in front of the camera. I will post one of him soon!

ROTFLMAO! That wouldn't be an herb of the smoking variety, would it?
