Could this be the most dangerous karate-ist ever?

No? How about the cutest?

Spotted this little girl, clearly enthralled with the waiting around at my own daughter's competition today, and simply had to share the candid shot.

Any thoughts anyone....?

She looks pretty ferocious -- I wouldn't tangle with her! Nice shot!

Thanks Ralph.

In all honesty, while watching this little black-belt-in-the-making "compete" in the contest, I couldn't help but thank my lucky stars to be living in a country where even the bored and grumpy kids look so sweet, and are perfect subjects for photography!

The expression? Priceless!

lol
I'm a karate student, my sensi would get a kick out of this one

I really like this. Nice job of capturing a moment.

Hey, you're not supposed to notice that!

I've been in a discussion for a couple of days about the fine points of ISO characteristics and usage. I've made a couple of posts that have been rather...wordy. Others have as well, but for some reason the TF decided to give me the honors, replacing my old "I ain't no mod" one.

Oh well, Titles happen:p

That's what I thought...quickly followed by, "So glad I've got my 100-400 stuck on camera!!!!! Snap, snap, snap!!!!!!"

Thanks. I took a couple of this little girl when she was first stood up waiting to start the event, but they were just "ok"....then she squatted down, and WHAM! What a cutie!!!

Careful Tony...you're beginning to sound as smart and clear thinking as Rick "?!" Denney!!!

Yeah it was the perfect moment and this is a killer shot. Thanks for posting it.
