Premium Competition 2011 Q4 : Entry Number 189

The colors and textures in this photograph, as well as being upside down and the girl not looking into the camera make this photograph a favorite. A dynamic photo, the viewer can come back and revisit over and over again, without getting bored.

My name is Heidi and I own Beach Plum Photography (www.BeachPlumPhotography.com) in NY. I took this photo with my Nikon D200 at the following settings: ISO 250, 200mm, f4.8, and a shutter speed of 1/320. My goal when photographing children is to catch true moments of childhood wonder.
