I didn't have much of a choice for my location, but I sure could have waited for the background lady to clear out. If I'm being honest... I...uhm...err...didn't see her when I took the picture. I was too intent on getting the expression I wanted and the position of the paintbrush to pay attention to what was going on in the background. :) And I could have lowered my angle to hide the paper behind my daughter's head. >Picture 3: Interesting because if you look carefully at your daughter's >eyes >it appears she's observing the boy on her left with peripheral vision as >though waiting to see what he's going to do. Or did. It's funny that you noticed that. She was indeed watching him. She had just set the glue down temporarily, and he came along to swipe it without so much as asking if she were done with it. This was the 2nd time he did that, so she was wary. :) But I also agree that it's not one of the better ones. >Not sure if this meets with your vision, but I see picture 2 with major >cropping.
