Thanks for looking Phil,

are you using a digital Pentax and an Hector? Must be fun, if not so 
convenient  ;-)
In any case you get superb results.
I had a look at the other photos, you seem to be a lucky father.

I don't know if your daughter accepts being photographed much.
My 3 kids used to flee like sparrows, hence my video period when they 
were younger. But now they take pleasure at seeing me juggling with my 
gear :-[ and they don't resent it so much; they just pretend to.
PAW5 is not my daughter's eye though. A relative I hadn't seen for 
years. She's 15 now, and a big girl as I said it already..

My gear? L1 (= Digilux 3 minus Red dot and a couple of $$ ) and D 
Vario-Elmarit - this is a slight crop - speed must have been around 
1/80th, and aperture 5.6 -  stab on and ISO is 100.
What surprised me most was the renditon of her skin, which I hadn't 
noticed when shooting for the light in her eye.

Thanks again Phil for viewing, commenting, and sharing..
