This child portrait really caught my eye. I like the unusual perspective of looking down at the little girl. Makes her seem even smaller, as if she was standing next to you. The composition is also different with the little girl in the bottom right corner, original. Of course the pink coulor of the top brings attention to the girl. And finally her expression :) She looks like she's about to ask for something. Love it!

This is a lovely kite shot, and is extra nifty because of the angle, and the inclusion of the people who are flying the kites.
