Megan...this is brilliant and I must add your best one yet!!
The colors are fantastic, the setting is perfect! I esp love how the door colors pops through the openings in her hat, her dark hair falling down in front, and the ruffles on that dress brings the prissy out. Gorgeous tilt of hat, awesome natural lighting.
****Brilliant**** Wonderful capture!!

The hat, the green door, the ruffled skirt.... everything just goes together so well! Looks like it belongs in a magazine! Can you tell I love this!!?? Hope to see this with a medal at the end of the month!

  Megan, I agree whole heartedly with the other comments. All of the elements of this photo come together perfectly. This was meant to be a photograph. Great job!

  I would have to agree with what everyone has said! Wonderful chil portrait and the lighting is perfect. What time of day did you capture this, and where was the sun? I am trying to perfect my natural lighting, it's difficult and of course it's something not learned over night, and you pulled it off...I love this photograph! It should win! Great job!

  Darling shot! I have one of the 7 year olds and I'm always amazed at how old she appears in photo's. I still see her as my baby. I think we will see this one again - a winner in my eyes.
