Congratulations to Lucifer and this beautiful image of his girl Isabelle. There are many features of this image that make it stand out. Some of them are: 1. The lighting, it looks like it was mainly overcast this day, no harsh shadows which has resulted in a nice clean, even distribution of light. If some fill flash (looks like possibly was) used here then it has been done quite cleverly. 2. The background - epic Sydney. The fact that the sailing boat was also there added to the image too. 3. Eye contact!! To get eye contact from a baby of this age is either lucky or very skillful  . Her cheeky yet contemplative grin is endearing and certainly this shot should be printed and hung on the wall! (perhaps a canvas print?). 4. The colours - vibrant and fun! Well done Lucifer!

Great shot and well chosen. As Geoff said to nail eye contact with an infant is tricky at best, but in such a ideal setting / backdrop! Nice work!
