Aren't you sweet to share your time and talent! This is so old fashion but now (if that makes any sense?). I love your timing, crop, colors and effects. Well done Susi!! #4224892

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

Thanks Susan, Murry, Joan. Terrill and Robert!
A lot of this shot was luck, as this little girl wore the perfect color and her gesture I happen to capture as she was about to toss the braids over her shoulder..and her beauty is Gods credit! #4225481
