For Ganny

This photo is for my mom, whose dealing with some stuff right now. My daughter always brings a smile to her Ganny's face, as I know this one will.

Think I preferred yesterdays, but this is still lovely!

A lovely portrait. Very difficult (in my experience) to get good skin tones and an acceptable exposure for a bright background like this. I think you've come up with a pretty good compromise here.

@Andrew Gould: Thank you Andrew. I struggle to get the balance right with overcast skies, so I appreciate your comments on this.
