Emma's Braids
Uploaded: April 28, 2007
Taken during a free portrait session day for low income single mothers. This little girl asked me to take a picture of her braids and it turned out to be my favorite of them all.
Natural window light and fill flash using gary Fong frosted light sphere with a canon 24-105 f/4 lens. lightly painted with the acrylic capture brush in Corel X. Thank you for looking and any comments are appreciated.

Masterful. I think you've got a winner here, Susi!Yes, it's "traditional" but with a decidely contemporary twist. Your artistic sensibilites coupled with this girl's face make for an exceptional portrait. I'm green with envy! Fantastic job. #4225231
