She is my daughter trying to smell flowers.

This photo was taken at Descanso botanical gardens, La Canada, CA.
The original shot was a little overexposed so I had to adjusted it with photoshop, but this photo is still one of my favorites.

Would argue with you there. I like the blown highlights and the background as it gives a watercolor characteristic to the OOF areas while emphasizing the young lady nicely IMO.

The white out look works here like Clarence suggested.

The light air quality really works out
