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.

I try not to make my pics look posed. Sometimes when I am taking pics
of family I will have them slowly move around and just keep shooting
until I get some I like. Then again, some don't need any coaching to
tell a story.

And any of you photo guys want to take a crack at cleaning this one
up? Go for it..

I don't see well so I can't tell if it's sharp enough to work with,
but I like it..

And as usual, any of you who wanted to use trip-reports for your own
photos feel free to ask. No ads, and you can password protect your
area for family and friends only if you wish..

Nice one. The champ doesn't need touching up.
Those crappies are really nice.
Do you fillet them or just gut and fry?

a couple of times.

==========================================

Actually I think those are Crappie not Calico Bass. Or, maybe Calico is
local name for what is actually a Crappie. Here in Florida the Crappies are
referred to as specs. I have caught Crappies in one place I fish down here
close to three pounds. Lots of fun and great eating.

Yeah, that is a local name for the black crappie.. We call them Calico
Bass. I understand there is a big Calico Bass they catch on the west
coast, in salt water too.. They are some of the best eating fish you
will ever have in my and many other opinions..

Two different fish - fresh water and salt.

We don't see the salt version up here very much.

Specs refer to speckled trout (also known as squeteague, gray trout,
weakfish) which is some good eatin'.

I was looking at the wrong picture. I knew you can tell a crappie.
