Beautiful lighting on the two golden girls and I love the fact they are wearing almost the same and have their hair the same!

Good one again, Magda. The kids seem to be lost in thoughts. :)

aubry from Montpellier, France
hi magda,
nice angle, not enough contrasted for me...

@aubry: Hi Marc! I knew you wouldn't like it as much. ;) Leaving the low contrast was to preserve that natural glow and softness that I saw through my lens... It doesn't happen often to see my girls so quiet and still. (grin) I just wanted to leave that image as is, in its natural beauty. :)
@Dimitrios: Thank you for stopping by! :)
Angela from Halifax, United States

Precious moment as they look out the window, Magda, and I like it in BnW.

Magda, great capture of a peaceful moment. What were your girls looking at?

@Marion: Thank you Marion. They were watching birds that come to our feeders hanging off of our deck. Tara was teaching Paige the proper names of the visiting birds. ;)
@Bill: Thank you Bill
Jen from United States
Stunning photo! The light is just fabulous. And I love the repeated patterns in the similar hairstyles and sweaters. Just beautiful! :)

PD from Overland Park, Kansas, United States
You always have incredible pictures - but I think this one is my favorite! Just such great composition, lighting, and emotion. You should do this stuff for a living if you are not already doing it!
24 Jan 2009 3:42am
@PD: Thank you so much! You are too kind. I take photos for my friends but to get to the "professional level" I need to work on it some more. I am taking photography courses now and if everything goes well I might pursue it as a career one day. Thank you for the encouraging words. :)

@willow: Thank you!
Bill from Los Altos, United States
Looks like the daughters are great friends to share a moment of quiet together like this captures. Excellent texture in the hair and sweater, and well rendered in black and white. Outstanding.
