From left to right, Ayesha: a step sister, Chloe; my cousin, and Skye; another step sister.
Taken at my dads wedding, they were flower girls.
I just shouted their names and they turned round and smiled for this, no posing, just pure luck on full automatic settings!
Editing; cropped and slight levels.
I left the tree in the photo, as I love the sparkles and they match the tiaras!
I know this wont score well in such a prestegous challenge, but my membership runs out soon, so I thought I would enter a photo I LOVE as a thank you to all you nice people a DPC :-)

Thank you everyone for your comments!!!
I tried this in black and white, but it didnt look right to me, and i also tried a very tight crop, but again it lost something in my opinion. But I guess im biased!
By the way, the two girls on the edges, that is their normal smiles, just pure happiness their from all three.
Also, it must be my computer, but I cant see the yellow cast? I do not have photoshop or anything, so cant easily do alot about it.
Thanks again for taking the time to look at my photo and for the feedback on it :-)
three very pretty young girls - they look like good friends - and this will be a great keepsake for them
the shot itself has some issues with a busy and distracting background, harsh light due to the flash, and the fact that the girl to the right is partially hidden - in addition, the two girls on the sides appear to be uncertain about smiling (as if saying "cheese"), while the girl in the middle has a natural and calm expression
Lovely girls, not such a lovely photo. It COULD be a great photo though. Maybe a tighter crop and certainly fix the white balance issues. If you can't get rid of the yellow cast, try black and white. It might be stunning in BW.
