Literal Tree Hugger

I was playing with my new lens this past weekend and my daughter wanted to show her love for trees...

For snapshots they are lovely. If we're talking photography, the cut off hand is something I tell subjects to avoid, sometimes by reaching upward. Although if hugging is the goal, then something else. I like the soft color of the shirt with the light bark of that particular tree.

Thank you and thanks for that tip. I never really thought about it before but now that you pointed it out, I can't help but notice it.
That particular shot was not posed, she was just playing around and hugged the tree and I snapped it, and really liked it.
But now I can see where it would look much better had she reached her hand up along the side.
