 Hi Everyone,

This is my first challenge and I'm looking to learn and have some fun along the way.

Since I no longer have any pets, I went to the zoo. After an hour or so of walking around, shooting a bunch of llama portraits and talking to the chickens I was about to call it a day and give up the goat when I saw this cute little girl introduce herself to one.

I had fun and captured a happy moment, for Challenge #1 that's good enough for me. Enjoy!

Joe

I elected to use a rating table to decide on what value to assign during voting.
Here̢۪s the table:
1 No Animal/People Interaction
2 Slightly Appealing, but no Animal/People Interaction
3 Moderately Appealing, but on Animal/People Interaction
4 Greatly Appealing, but no Animal/People interaction
5 Not Appealing, but possessing Animal/People Interaction
6 Slightly Appealing and possessing Animal/People Interaction
7 Moderately Appealing and possessing Animal/People Interaction
8 Greatly Appealing and possessing Animal People Interaction
9 Better than #8, and caused an audible sigh
10 Better than #9, and would likely declare it a favorite

Cute moment. Lensbaby sort of effect works well, though I wish the little girl was a smidge farther into the focussed area and the sun on her face was a little less bright. I do like her hair sticking up ;-)

Great emotion there - would really have liked to have the child in focus too.

This is a great moment, loved doing this with my daughter. Wish there was more in focus here, the little girl is soft and the sun on her forehead is too bad.
