This isn't fair. Who can resist a shot like this. Look at her smile....it is unreal! Cannot believe she is only 5 weeks old. What a joy to behold. This one is going to keep you smiling for a very looong time.

What a great smile. And you make a fine prop also. Great colors and very fine skin tones. I like the cropping and the way Stella is the center of attention.

Comment from nature rules
How sweet this is! I think she has her grandpa's smile! The love captured in the photo is literally 'in your face'! Capturing that moment when she was so full of glee AND looking at or toward the camera deserves high scores alone!

Your light and shadows have worked perfectly as well. Although there are shadows around the faces the important ones simply accent the expressions..nothing unseemly. And your clarity is excellent! Is this a selfie of sorts? Crop is perfect! Thank you for sharing this with many of us Grandparents here on FAR. The joy is boundless.

What a great photo Fred. You look so proud of Stella. I remember when I first became a grandfather. Such an exhilarating and humble feeling. Thanks for posting this memory Fred ~ Steve

Xoxoxo...a lovely family photograph. Close up shot is great to capture the expression of both of you. She seems to already understand what is ongoing.

Well done and thanks for sharing.
