Thank you everyone! I'm leaning more toward framing #5, but that may still change. The choice will be difficult. I should maybe start a poll :lol:

Excellent series!

I can see how it's difficult to chose between the last two. The colors seem richer in the last one and the splashing water is wonderful. But then there's the unobstructed view of mom in #4 and her beautifully backlit ears.

If you wanted to "cheat" and put the mom from #4 into #5 that would be fine by me :) Hmm... the splash wouldn't make any sense then though. Tough choice!

Thank you Ulrike. Yes, both pictures are at the same time very similar and very diffrent...
