The mission was successful as she found a dinosaur track.

Outstanding outdoor modeling work of very remarkable lighting and amazing details alone g with great b/w format choice, the con traits and tone are superb and the child expression and his eye contacts with the viewers do add a lot of great interest to this well thought off composition.

Thank you my friend for sharing it and wishing you a very Happy and Peaceful New Year.

Thank you so much for seeing all the beauty in the image that I saw through the viewfinder!

It was a special adventure for her and I think the excitement was evident in her expression for sure.

I don't know if you experience this, but sometimes, as I look through the viewfinder, I can actually see it in black and white so I know I must convert it to realize my vision.

I like the way the girl's body is posed to make best use of the broad side lighting and create a strong contrast between her face and the dark hill behind her.  You have successfully captured the excitement that she shows about her adventure.  The scarf and boots add a touch of fashion to what would otherwise be ordinary.  My only suggestion is maybe to try a more shallow depth of field, although I recognize that may be difficult on such a bright and sunny day.

Deb, I like the wind blowing her hair and the scarf, it seems to add to the sense of excitement and adventure. The black and white works very well with a nice range of tones. I love the boots. 

Beautiful b&w shot,deb!

Take care & happy new year for you and your dear family!

Best regards(Bobby).
