At first I thought about taking a picture of the FM forum but after more than an hour trying I gave up. Although I still think it's a nice idea (after all, I am getting into this forum daily) but the shots of the computer screen were simply boring.
So I switched to plan B. Heck, why not shoot my kid? After all, kids are never boring, right? In less than a minute I got this one. I hope you like it.
Happy shooting,
Yakim.

ADORABLE!!!! What a cute kid, and the shot is great. ...I do think if you're going to crop the right side of her head you might as well crop tighter everywhere else and crop some off the top? Otherwise I wouldn't crop the right so tight? Just MHO. :-)

I concur with Beverly's comments, both the crop and the ADORABLE! That smile is contagious!

I must admit that I cropped nothing. It's my mistake. Mea culpa….
I have other shots which are better in the compositional sense but they lack that special expression which is only in this shot. Thus I had to make a choice: To prefer a pic with better composition or with better expression. Well, you can see what I chose.
Happy shooting,
Yakim.

What a great shot! It puts a smile on one's face. There's so much joy expressed in her cute face, you've captured it nicely. Nice work, well done.

Thanks for your comment Carrol.
Well, it didn't made it to the finalists of this week. Looking at next week's WA I could post it there if it wasn't for the rules. I think I'll try again and pray I'll get a similar expression.
