Happy steps

[Dan Cattermole]

My 3 year old Grace goes to a ballet organisation in our town called Happy Steps.
She absolutley loves it! They had a show on a couple of weeks ago.... And of course, daddy was very proud.
I did get a few of her doing her role play, but it's these couple of shots taken prior to it that I adore.

In preparation and deep in thought.

And this one quite remarkable how the sun shined through the high rise windows and illuminated just Grace.
She turned and looked at me and gave the biggest smile!

Thanks or looking

Dan, Number two is superb, you are immediately drawn through the foreground towards Grace, quite remarkable really. Have you thought about burning or cloning out the plonker in the football t-shirt? There's always one isn't there? However, I'm just being picky I think.

Thanks Paul,
I did look at that, and thought it wasn't too distracting... But then again, now you've mentioned it. Lol.
I'll get the laptop open tomororow and work some magic on that.
Thanks Paul

Excellent pair of shots there Dan and that second one certainly has magic in it. A simple crop to just below the lettering could easily deal with the sartorially challenged gent in the background!

Crop?!! What a brilliant idea!!!! Thanks pete!

All good Dan. I look back on old images of my two and wow they are not so old but it can be very emotional. Enjoy every minute it is a precious time growing.
