My daughter

Greetings,

After a 10-year hiatus from doing any serious photography, my wife

bought me a Canon 40D for Christmas and a spiffy pair of lenses to go

with it. I tried them out for the first time on vacation with our

kids in Cancun, and would love to hear critiques and comments from

people who are more up to date than I have been.

Lovely soft portrait...I like the relaxed pose and the balanced composition. The soft natural lighting is very nice too. Congrats and welcome back to the world of photography. By the way, there is a great book on Amazon that will help you learn all of the 40D's advanced features....here's the website. Regards.

love the crop & the composition.

Regards Andrew
