Isn't this little child absolutely adorable?? In China, the way the children are dressed, you can never be sure if the child is a boy or a girl just from their clothes. I refer to this cutie pie as a 'she', but I honestly don't know if that is accurate. Please bear with me!
This adorable child was walking down the narrow alleyway (or hutong) and I just had to take a photo. I'm usually too shy, but I got the feeling from her father that it was OK. I squatted down a bit and knew I had to work fast as she wouldn't be in this perfect spot for more than a moment. I instinctively focused on her foot because I didn't have time to establish a focus point on her face. I did this because I figured her foot is on the same plane as her face so if I get her foot in focus, her face should be as well. Luckily, in this case, it worked!
I'll submit this shot for the Sweet Shot Tuesday at my3boybarians.com that I discovered a couple of weeks after I started my Best Shot Wednesday feature.
Thanks for stopping by! xxxx
What a beautiful photo, I like the innocence of it :)

I like this a LOT! The bright, modern-looking clothing, and the faded shabbiness of the background - just lovely :-)

These girls could be sisters, even down to the fashions they wear!
