Penny,
Her photograph is technically very good. The photograph has good composition, the sun (focal point of the picture) is centered, there is an almost perfect balance of light and dark tones. For an unprocessed photograph it is excellent. I hope that you and your daughter don't mind but I had to play with it a little. I made a few adjustments in the highlights and shadows to produce a more dramatic effect.



You'll note that I referred to it as a photograph rather than a picture, to me there is a difference. A picture is what most people take on a vacation or some event that they want to remember. Typically these are pictures taken of somebody on the beach, or standing in front a sign in the mountains, etc. There is nothing wrong with taking pictures, I do it a lot myself. However a photograph has a mood, it evokes emotion. You daughter would seem to have an eye for taking photographs.

Linz thought that was neat. She has not took many photos like this, but this one blew me away. She has her camera alot. I told her to take more photos like this.
