that is a wonderful shot

beautiful child and shot Peachman

I really like it! The little girl has just a beautiful look. Great color! nice shap focus! Lucky you for capturing the moment.

Very nice. I like it alot. Color, bokeh, sharpness... great image, great child.

Thanks folks...I do love to go these functions with the Downs kids...they enjoy life so much...They aren't encumbered with so many hang ups some of the rest of us deal with...I always take the camera...These kids make you see life in a different light...by thier actions, which give plenty to shoot at!! My avatar was shot by one of my little buddies at a walk a year ago...he was facinated by taking photos and I spent an hour or so showing him how it all worked and the avatar photo was the end product...he was thrilled and so was I...

So do I, very nice capture.

PEACHMAN, its nice to hear someone else talk like that. I'm a special ed. teacher and a photographer on the weekends. I know exactly what you mean. One of my 6th graders with Downs is moving to the Jr. High next year and its going to be completely different without her next year. She's hilarious. They always teach me what the truly important things in life are, while I'm teaching them math & reading. I have some outstanding images of some of my kids with Downs too, but I won't post them w/out specific parent permissions, even though I have a blanket permission signed at the start of the year. ...I don't think posting here counts as "educational benefit."

Im with you all the way there, and yes, I know these folks and always get permission for these postings...!!...Myles, my grandson has redefined my life and way of thinking since i inherited him 5 years ago....ha ha...He just came in the room and informed me he has just painted Molly, our lab, with yogert!!! It never stops...

I think she is beautiful, too. I have a special place in my heart for Down's kids. In fact, had to delay the cutting of the cake at my wedding until a speical downs kid could get his hug. Great shot, too.
pam

Too late...he's already got her in the shower with him..........Hahahahah​a...some days it's like a circus around here

Great picture, and yes, she's a cutie.
I dont think I would even have known she had Downs if you didn't mention it.
