Here's my little girl! Can't believe she's big enough for a SWING. She's a big fan of the playground :) As far as composition, I thought this shot turned out nicely with being able to capture her whole body (not an easy feat while swinging) and the leading lines of the swing's chains. If it had been only the fence and the sky behind her, I would have been thrilled to death, but instead I captured the top of a neighbor's roof in our background. For fear of including too many competing patterns in our background, I turned the image into a nice sepia/creamy latte tone to help cancel out that little distracting factor.

This was one of the many photos taken at a local botanical gardens. I thought this archway was really beautiful, and framed the path leading through this herb garden. I tried to take the photo from a perspective that would draw your eyes into the herb garden, inviting you to enter under the archway.

Same day at the playground, wanted to test out a different perspective to achieve a uniform "background" (the bark). In a perfect photo world, Lizzy would have looked right up at mama just as I had everything set just so with my focus sharp. However, there were children playing basketball so mama's camera was not all that interesting at that moment. But, I still did achieve decent composition, exposure and focus. I like that I framed her in a way that used the rule of thirds, at an angle, and I didn't crop out any important features. I did snip off a foot and the toes of the other, but not directly at a limb. Your mind is able to complete the rest of the image for us, especially since I captured one of the cute little shoes :). Is my thinking correct on that?

Couldn't let you leave my page without sneaking in a laughing Lizzy picture!
