An Ella to confuse Melissa

Heh, I just have to post this one from the archives because of a very entertaining discussion over at FB.

My niece Ella, last summer. She's always posing for me. :)

This is a good shot! Any attempt I would make at photographing a child, I guarantee they would be missing an eye! Either because I didn't compose well, or because I literally hit them in the eye with my camera.

Cute and fun!

@mej2011 But clearly, you're not confused. :D

@jnomerso She is. Both. :D

Well no, but if you had photographed this child at 4, I might be.

@mej2011 Well, technically she was 5 here. Only 2 months into her 5th year, too. :D

@mej2011 (Technically? Whut? Why did I type that? My higher brain functions are shutting down. I'm dead tired.)

Okay, clearly I have no idea what I am talking about, so I'm just going to go play with my crayons.

@mej2011 LOL!

@joa
I must be tired as well,because that sentence makes perfect sense to me.

It's a Finnish Pickle!!

@mej2011 It's just redundant. The "technically". I think. I guess. I dunno. I'll go to bed now. Zzzz. :D

@westcoastwallis A Fickle. :D (She is, a bit.)

@joa
Eh, Americans are good at redundancy.
May 9th, 2014  
@mej2011 Seems tired Finns are, too. ;)

Go to sleep.
May 9th, 2014  
@mej2011 I will. Soon. It's only 9 pm, but I did only have 5 hrs of sleep last night and a rather busy day at a seminar in Helsinki. So yes, I should probably go. Or else I'll fall asleep on the sofa. :D

I like this a lot! Such happy pic and that framing is perfect, love that eye framing too, I don´t ususally fav childrend´s pics but I have to make exception here, this is simply delightful and so well composed.
May 9th, 2014  
@susale Thank you so much! The framing & composing was, once again, a bit of good luck rather than planning. Ella kept moving so fast that it was hard to keep up with her. :D But it is a fun shot, it makes me smile. :)
