"Beautiful tones! The expression of the child watching the horse is priceless. The angle of the horse and the girl works in creating the feeling of how small she is next to the horse."
"This is a classic! I just love how interested the little girl is in the horse and how the breeze seems to have caught her little dress at just the right moment!"

Photographer Notes:
Canon 300Df10, 1/200, ISO 100strobe left, reflector right.
This little one is in the beginning stages of learning ballet, and was a bit apprehensive about the steps. As she stretched to touch her toes and glanced behind her, I saw this pensive look and immediately snapped the shutter. So elegant for a three-year-old girl!
Judges' Comments:
"She has such perfect features and the moment and expression were captured at the PERFECT moment!""The tones and grain here are so nicely done and add such impact to this image."
"Love the off center composition of this image... The way she's looking back with the little shoulder tilt has such impact."
Congratulations to all!
