Technically excellent, Keith. But too bad you couldn't get to an angle where the faces showed, even partially in profile. If the kid's head had been a little higher, at least you'd have had that one. But yeah, this kind of thing is difficult at best.

Russ, I've several shots including the little girl in full profile but preferred this one.

You're the one doing the shooting and making the decisions. It's a picture that's good enough.

Thanks, stamper.

If I get time I'll upload another shot of the same scene for Russ.

I still prefer the original, it's more dynamic.

I like the first one too.
I agree. In the first shot the girl working and helping...

Yes, her body language in the first is so expressive.

Thanks, Eric.

Yes, and the concentration on that little face is palpable.

But they certainly go nicely together. Is that with the Z7 camera using autofocus?

Hi John, no, this is a newly processed image from earlier in the year - before I got the Nikon - using the Leica M240 and 35 Summilux.
