Oh, the star definitely is the Momma - with her eyes trained on her baby so intently and that tasty "tidbit" hanging from her mouth that she's so eager to present, she's the epitome of loving motherhood! Fantastic pov...still wondering how you managed that (!) and delightful color and detail. Terrific capture! #8869279
