My niece's daughter. I think I should have brought her home.

She's beautiful. When our two oldest were her size I dressed them just like that. She looks perfect in this old setting with the sunlight falling on her. Wonderful image.

Yes, you should have brought her home but I imagine her parents might have had something to say about that. I love the lighting, it looks like a portrait out of the 40's. That handmade chair is the perfect thing to show off her tiny perfection. This is simply llovely.

Una foto preciosa. La niña está muy guapa y la imagen parece sacada de un libro de fotografía clásica. La gama tonal de la madera es impresionante y el juego de luces y sombras también. Felicidades por esta gran foto. Saludos.

A precious photo. The girl is very handsome and the image seems removed from a book of classic photography. The pitch range of the wood is impressive and the game of lights and shades also. Congratulations by this great photo. Greetings.
