I realize that this isn’t artsy or pretty as far as portraits go (and for these reasons, probably, it’s never made a portfolio cut). But I just remembered this five year-old flower girl, all that (glaring!) attitude, hot pink nail polish, a child’s purse, and a halo of stunning orchids. She makes me happy, with all her glamour and grit, so I thought I’d share.

Digital has gone over the edge with artsy lately. Its nice but I love looking at natural portraits in available light. You did a highly creative piece here and this picture needs no explainations . . .
