Maybe it's the quality of the light, or the contrast in shadows. Most certainly it's generally the subject matter. But, that's not always a given as I've been attracted to some images where I didn't like the subject...
The image may not be taken by someone with mad skills in photography. Composition may be woefully off. Clarity may not be its best, even. Still, you love it.
So, I can't really explain to you the whys...
I can only tell you, that this picture I took on Thanksgiving Day, is my new favorite.
And, although I know there will be thousands of more new favorites to come based on this subject matter of Olivia...I think this one will always make my eyes go soft, and my breathing slow, and my emotions run to gentle things.
I hope just such an image comes to your eyes today.
Namaste' Till Next Time,
Holly aka Great Aunt Holly

Oh my ... how I do love it when they turn the corner on a new skill and become even more their own person. Look at her ... exploring, courageous, inquisitive, ready for whatever is around the corner. Such a sweet picture!
She's adorable, all right!
What a sweet girl. I love this image as well. xx

You're at your best when you coo over Olivia. And no wonder that is your new favorite photo... it's a masterpiece of sweetness!
Holly that photo is perfection. The words that come to my mind are "pure" and "trust". She is so completely and utterly pure at this age and looking up with trust. I can see why this particular photo (and child) have captured your heart.
Holly the love you share with this little angel is simply wonderful.
Great shot.
best wishes

How sweet indeed. What an expression. The wonder and curiosity of a child is something I hope we all can rekindle again, and again.
It is beautiful!! I know exactely what you mean!!
I can see why this is one of your new favs. It does capture the feeling you describe perfectly.
This is priceless. Takes my breath away.
Oh lovely sweetness! :)
I can believe how big Olivia is getting; it was just yesterday that you were sharing your news!
Stopped by for a visit, it's been a very busy semester here at Towson University.....
Happy Holidays!

awww!! I think it's the sense of discovery in her face that gets you--at least that's what got me.
I was watching videos of my grandson last night from way back when he was a baby. Hard to believe he's now a freshman in college.
How precious! I love this age! Cherish the moments!
Just too cute for words! Definitely a favorite, the shadow, the Light, the Life!! Love and Light, Nina P
