This is my 3 year old daughter. She was wandering around the house today with a turtle visor on upside down and sunglasses on. She was also carrying around a bag full of play food along with her doll which she put down for a nap. I thought she looked so cute and funny I had to take a picture of her. This was a miracle capture because usually when she sees the camera come out she won't hold still. I got lucky today!

Assuming Cartesia is your daighter's name - I love that! :) You created a pretty cool effect here as well. 3 is a golden age for children - especially girls - you are blessed!

Your choice of processing works well with the playful image. I'd love to get a peek at what your daughter really looks like in some other shots. :)

What a fun picture this is! Seeing your daughter reminds me of mine, but it's like seeing her in a dream. And what a beautiful name she has!!

Pretty neat! Don't think it would have quite the impact that it does without the glasses and hat. Cute.

Your daughter has a pretty name ;) I like the processing it takes an ordinary photo and turns it into something unusual. I bet your daughter likes it too!

I know the problem of photographing kids (pfff). This is like a color drawing. The right side is perhaps a little light, bit I like the hard lines.

I'm not sure I like the processing but I love the photo......it reminds me of the movie "Little Miss Sunshine"!

This is fun! Great composition.

I wonder how it would look if you masked in a few details from the original ..... like her eyes, contents of the bag, not sure what else. Hehe .... this is going to be a great challenge, lots of interesting ideas to play with.
