Just Finished

After trying for over a month to take just the right photo of her daughter, her mother gave up.  Then this scene happened.  The  girl just finished a puzzle when her mother grabbed her camera and snapped the photo.  I think it captures her perfectly, as did her mother and family.  A good photo which captures the personality of the child is essential to a successful portrait.
