    great capture, the only thing i dont like is the large shadow on the tree and on the little girl.
    i find they are REALLY distracting to my eye. if you could shoot this again at another time of day it would be a great photo!

    Canon EOS 30D | EF 70-200mm f/4L | EF 85mm f/1.8 | EF 50mm f/1.8 | Sigma 10-20mm f/4 EX | Strobist gear galore

    welcome. Truthfully I would love to see the girls expression. I think it would tell more of a story maybe a different angle with the big tree. but over all its nice. lets see more

    Neat composition. I am guessing this is gpa and granddaughter. Maybe try boosting the contrast a bit. Welcome to the forum.

    I want to see the girl's face, You could probably get rid of that tree shadow with a major crop of the left and a bit of the top.
    Its a good capture of a moment and well worthwhile to get this image. Its just that its very difficult to capture a 'moment' and have all the photographic elements co-operate.
    Keep Shooting!
