Thank you for all of your great comments! When I saw this scene unfolding, I ran to get closer. I had one chance to capture this photograph before the baby was pulled away from the koi pond.

Thanks again,

Donna

I am awestruck that everything matches - the outfits, the grass...

This image is so beautifully at ease with colour, composition and lighting so that the action is divinely serene! #7637505
