Did I click it up a notch?

Courtney over at Click it up a Notch is having a photography contest. Click it up a notch is one of my favorite photography websites; it has a lot of great information, tips and resources. Plus it's one of those sites that update frequently, so it is always fresh and interesting. Check it out!

I took this picture about a week and a half ago when she was playing. It was very impromptu; she had found this old handkerchief in a box and I put it on her head. She was a bit grumpy and wouldn't smile for me, but I'm glad I got a shot of her looking directly at me. Most of the time it seems like i'm shooting her looking down or away from me.

What a fabulous photograph of your little girl! I love the backlighting, too, as well as the honesty in her expression. Too many times, I try to force my kids to smile, which winds up looking unnatural. Great job!

I would be honored if you would consider entering this photograph in my Spring Has Sprung photo contest. You can find details here: http://www.tattietats.com/2011/04/spring-has-sprung-photo-contest.html
