Congrat to the winners.

Yes Lilly I see what you mean about the childs foot and hand being cropped out.....I have it in the orginal...I was a bit to focused on the helping handmissed that I cropped it there

I too loved the shadows in this picture

Now take a break form this job!!

The Helping Hand.

We all need a helping once in a while, so I had to make this a pentax moment Lilly, as I quickly saw your theme and the story....Enjoy!

The child was frightened by the large waves and the vastness of the water. Her mother waded into the water and then coached her to come by offering the wee one her hand.....with a helping hand she did manage to wet her toes!






Camera model...Pentax K-m Focal Length 18.0mmm Expos Time .001 Aperture f/4.5

The K-m has two wonderful buttons as such...One is an information button explainingthe infor on any setting and a smart little button on the top of the camera with a ?...it will tell you what any setting is for...

for example if your dial was on 'Sv'...click the ? and the screen will say..."The e-dial sets the ISO sensitivity, and aperture and shutter are set automatically for quick ISO changes"

It is in many ways like having your manual summerized and built in the camera...soo nice.

It would be smart for Pentax to carry this feature in upcoming models!

Having said that...I would always recommed reading the manual also...it has help me learn much more then is in the cameras help button

here is another WARM welcome for you!!!! WELCOME
