I can't believe I forgot to move the bowl.

Great shot! (Believe it - I see the evidence with my own eyes!)

I agree, great shot.

If this is more or less a grab shot, with minimal set up, you caught a great expression so you get a pass on the bowl. Kids this age can lose interest very quickly. I think it looks great as is.
However, if you spent more than a couple of minutes setting this up then yes the bowl, the glass and the books should be gone.

Thanks for the kind words. No set up time - I saw the look on her face when we lit the candles and grabbed the camera.

I did have about 20 seconds to fire off a few shots. I learned somewhere along the way to always look at the edges of the frame to see if there are any distractions, but I was so focused on her expression and getting the eyes in focus with my manual focus lens that I wasn't even aware of the bowl. This is just a reminder to me of how many things you have to think of quickly to frame and take a great quick shot and is incentive for me to keep practicing.

Despite the semi-distracting bowl, this is wonderful! Captures the joy, the magic, the wonder so beautifully.
