# 3 is beautiful…capturing a sweet, little girl exploring the beach.
It took me a bit, scrolling back and forth, but my eyes were consistently drawn back to #11. I love the feel of that aged chair she is leaning on, her hair messy but perfect somehow, her sweet expression and MAN, she has some incredibly captivating eyes. #11 for me!!!
#3 is my vote, but love the colors in #11
I love, love, love them all, but #11 is my favorite too. I love the rustic feel, the natural, windblown look and your beautiful subject. Gorgeous! Love all the family beach scenes too.

#11 is a great pose with a beautiful little girl. Her smile and eyes are captivating, and leaning on the old chair makes it so natural.
Got to go with #11. Naturally.
#11 She’s a naturally beautiful little girl and you’re an awesome photographer! Love the relaxed, windblown style of the photograph.
MY VOTE IS FOR # 3 🙂

#9 all the way – gorgeous light and cute boy!
Number 12 to win please. This is a beautiful action shot of a little boy having such fun.
number 9 to win. This is a fantastic picture even though you cannot see the little boys face clearly one can tell he has a really big cheeky smile!!!!
#11 of course, but they’re all beautiful works of art! I voted last night but it’s not on here so if it comes in twice I swear I’m not double voting;)
I vote for #11. They are all awesome, but that one needs to go up on a wall or on a magazine cover. Serious staying power.
Number 3 What a sweet little girl exploring the beach! S.Blake
