...and you have every right to be proud. She is a real darling. This image is beautiful none the less. Many have gotten used to the perfection and clarity that digital is capable of, but how I miss the chance fotos shot in film that were real keepers. Gone is the excitment that came from waiting for that roll of film to be developd.

I think this is a great portrait. Very natural. She's beautiful and the blur works here.

@Melissa: Thanks very much.

I agree about the blur adding to the image. Your eyes go directly towards her smiling mouth.

Very nice.

The exif data doesn't show what kind of camera you're using, but if it can take a manual lens it seems like it should give some kind of indication --like a dot in the viewfinder-- when it's in focus.

@Twelvebit: Yes, it's a Pentax K100D Super but I ignored the red blinking dot. I trusted my eyes .... foolishly.
