While at the baptism of my Goddaugher, Guilia, I caught her older sister, Elisa, peering into the baptismal basin...the golden reflection on her face was so cool, so I grabbed this one shot.

Good timing Mike The flash seems to have reflected from the basin and casted a golden light on Elisa!!!

I like the effect and I am sure this is an image the family would treasure and want to keep.

You did justice to a lovely girl :) :) Congratulations!!!!!

Now that is a shot that Elisa will cherish when she is older! This image just exudes innocence...

Great shot, Mike, and I don't think that I would change a thing in it!

Wonderful shot! I found this to be so rich looking.... I've been back a couple of times to view it. It just exudes innocence as geoffs said. Her pensive look....and that single curl on her forehead.... I just loved this! :)
Comments and critiques always welcome!

Well done and no average grab shot. I love the gold, but I might desaturate the yellow just above the nose and eyebrows.
