Lunchtime in the sunshine

The shadows and light were absolutely gorgeous during lunch at school today. I had my trusty baby Nikon with me ( it is nearly always lurking in the bottom of my bag ). As usual I had a hard time choosing which photo I wanted to use ( maybe I need to go ace so I can post more lol ). Each time I flicked through them this one always jumped out at me so I I finally decided this is it. Hope you like it too :) View Large if you can
I do like this a lot -- great image and use of overexposure!

It's funny how some pics just jump out and even though you patiently go through all the rest you somehow know which one it's going to be!! This is a really great high key shot Annie. (The Ace membership is so worth it)

I like the high key especially with the hat shadow. It makes for a pleasing triangle even if you've chopped off her toes slightly! Is that a sandwich?

Great shot - amazing how removing the detail sometimes reveals more of the essence of the image than the original.

@sabresun thanks Matt, the toe was a concern for me for the reason you mentioned - I did have another shot..toe in...but the light wasn't quite the same..yep, a sandwich :)

@taffy @paul2782 @paulaw @salza @nathanheustis @philr @thedysue Thanks so much for all the encouragement - all the wonderful photos are prompting me to try different things and be more experimental with the processing. I am also trying to learn more about cameras and settings - although I can't help but let my instincts and emotions guide my choices lol
