Description I was walking around a park where there were lots of people. Children were playing rolling down this short hill and I was watching. This little girl saw my camera and kept her eyes on me as she moved to the top of the little hill and sat beside her mother facing the opposite direction. When I raised the camera to photograph her she was very pleased. I did two shots and this is the second one. It's so fun when kids will look right at my camera.. kind of amazing even.

Not yet... I am such a loser! Please forgive me. I will do it this weekend so I can give you a critique...

fantasy is not generally what I read but have read some in the past when the children were young. I'm assuming it is all fantasy... and not Sci Fi... seemed like fantasy to me.

Every intelligent human should hate harlequin. LOL! There are few genres I really don't like. If it's good writing, I like it.... and I love reading things by friends.

I love red hairs! Hehehe, you are so lucky that kids let you photograph them!, it's always a problem in my case, hehe.
Nice photo! I love the composition, a pretty emotive portrait I must say

kids aren't as apprehensive of cameras as older folks. They don't care so much about their appearance and they are curious.

I agree, kids in general have a fire about them, it doesn't matter what they are doing, they make the best out of that moment.
