Seven-year-old Ripley, the daughter of friends last weekend, in her pink and purple shag sweater and an old iron chair. No, that's not a black eye; she'd put on her own make-up, (as only a seven-year-old can!) and wanted her picture taken...
Thank you all. Yes, the Imagon is a lens that takes some getting used to. This is one of the few I've done wide open that has worked for me. (Usually I like it between f/8 and f/11.)
And Daniel, no worries, she's definitely still a seven-year-old. This was taken in a time-out from a tea-party with the other little girls. (Although when she was four-and-a-half, she wanted me to be her boyfriend. Alas, she changed her mind when I explained to her about cooties...)
Jason ~ I'd like to check with her parents first, but I don't think it would be a problem... I'll send you a private message in a couple of days, and we'll figure something out...
