When I first saw the mini pic I thought to myself how did she get so close but the thick glass explains it all. Well, this little one put on a show for you with those gorgeous eyes and expression. Beautiful capture Donna. #7925951

The clear and sharp details especially on the eyes would not give a clue on the presence of the thick glass. It's a great way to get these fabulous close-up shots. Nice work Donna! #7927173
