What I liked most about this photo is it seemed to capture her
personality, a little girl who is very expressive, animated and loves to
show off.


You picked up on what I think Mrs.E's. photo taking talent is,
considering
she has no training. The mechanics may be off ... meaning lighting,
composition, etc., but she has a natural gift for taking pictures that
captures the essence of the subject. Very few of her portrait pictures
seem
posed.

My youngest has a friend who picked up a Canon something or other DSLR
- she's in med school and eventually wants to get into psychiatry -
figured she could do candids and interviews - take pictures.

From day one she took unbelievable candid portraits.

Never been able to figure it out. Some folks have the eye, some don't
I guess.
My daughter is that way. When in high school, she had best in class at the
local county fair and went on to an honorable mention at the Calif. State
Fair. But both girls are very artistic.
