Ha! LOL! Great timing to capture this one mate. It looks spontaneous and yet everything is nicely positioned. Crackin' shot.

@Stu: Miori was part of a group of kids that Lani and I looked after in Cairns. They came to see the sights and experience life (albeit for only two weeks) overseas. It was spontaneous and 'unscripted'. I might add that I almost immersed my beloved camera in the water in my attempt to get this. I reckon the light settings could be better but I'm happy with the overall composition. thanks for the comment, Stu.

@Jerry: Cheers Jerry. As I stated in an earlier response I'm not thrilled with the lighting, especially in the background. However, I can't complain about the composition which is decent for a spontaneous effort.

Thanks for your comment. I appreciate hearing from you.
