POTD 2-13-2008

Thanks for all the comments lately. I promise to be better at commenting back once we get settled after the move. Will have more free time then. I have been having fun shooting again :)

My idea for tonight was ruined when my daughter's favorite truck drove off as we were coming back from getting the mail. I have permission from the owner to get some pics of her with it (and let her climb all over it) but he took off before I could today.

So instead we went inside and went with the old love standby. I have seen this before but seeing that she signed a bit as a baby (plan on teaching her more as well) and it is our little code when we see each other across the cafeteria at school, it is fitting!

That is sweet how you have your secret signal. You two will do that forever and now you have the picture to remind you of these times.

How cute are her little hands?!?! Such a sweet gesture between you. Such an adorable shot.

Cute idea! Love it and might have to try it with my daughter!

I love how even though her hands are the focal point, my eyes are immediately drawn to her facial expression in the background. I think it's her face in the background that really makes this photo!

Such a cute little hand. Nice DOF. My DD and I have an invisible string that connects us wherever we are, and our signal to each other is to give the string a little tug.

I may have seen this before, but you nailed the DOF and the coloring is VERY nice (and that says a lot because I'm on a laptop at the moment...)
