Contageous smile.:))

Thought I'd share this image for C&C. I just can't help but smile every time I look at her!!

Cute capture!

It's hard to tell at this size, but it seems like the focus might have been just a little bit in front of her face. The focus on her fingers (right hand) seems just a bit sharper than the focus on her eyes. I know a moving toddler, particularly one on a swing, is not the easiest thing to get just the way you want. Without seeing EXIF, I can't say for sure, but a smaller aperture can give you a little more depth of field to work with on a moving subject like that.

The lighting and exposure is great, and really makes her stand out from the background.

I really like the shot! A child on a swingset is a tough photo to do for sure, I have tried quite a few times to get a good photo of my youngest Grand Daughter but never had the success you did!

I agree grandpawrichard, I have never quite mastered the swing shot of grandkids that successfully.
Svetlana, she is an absolutely cutey, and great shot!
