Uncle Curt w/niece, Kayla
Posted by Judy (Brooksville, Florida, United States) on 30 April 2009 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.
Uncle Curt stopped to see Kayla one more time before she left. He was on his way home after a long night at work and I think he could have fallen asleep with her on his lap.
This is the end of the family series, at least for now. :D

@tyan: Ohhh, Tyan, I understand as I didn't have a close relationship with mine either.
Curt will only see Kayla occasionally through her life as long as she lives so far away from us, but with her daddy gone, her Uncle Curt is a very specail connection for her - her only uncle. xx

A very sweet photo, Judy. It's been a privilege joining with your family in this recent series. Kayla is a little angel, and Uncle Curt knows it.

@Viewfinder: Thanks, Glenn ... yes, Uncle Curt wishes, as we do, that Kayla lived much closer to us!
Marie-Hélène Ammor from Casablanca/Paris, Morocco
Wonderful portrait ,tenderness and joyful . Have they the same color of eyes?

@Marie-Hélène Ammor: Their eyes are very similar ... a bit more hazel than blue, but vary according to the light.
Thank you, Marie.
Susan from Fort Lauderdale, FL, United States
Great portrait of the 2,.....usually, that close, you'd expect some distortion, but this worked well!!

@Susan: Thanks, Susan; I was sitting away from them, with the 18-200 lens and then I cropped it close.
My photos, now that I understand AM3's compression, are never more than 800 pixels wide, so that leaves a lot of room for cropping.
@Lorraine: Ohhh, you are sweet ... thank you so much, Lorraine! xx

What a sweet photo. I'm sure Kayla appreciates a little cuddling from a big guy.

@Bookfool: Yes, she did ... in her Daddy's absence, especially.
