Beautiful indeed, such a soft face.....Sis I love it!!! Yours....M

Sydd, she has come of age, under your nurturing, loving wisdom.....fear not, you have taught her well , and your lessons have not gone unheeded ~ Sacred

There are no words that can describe what a fantastic job you have done Syyd. The lighting, angle and softness make this breathtaking. The added noise only adds to the effect of softness.

Sacred Rose, thank you..I am bawling like a baby here..Thank you thank you

Oh My! Syyd, Such a beautiful daughter with a soul as tender & light as your own. You have captured more here than her image, you have captured a tiny part of her soul for us to see, & in the capturing have let us look inside your own! hugs :-)

Very good taking angle, possibly had used a focal of 80 mm for this first spectacular plane, the illumination and the effect of softened focus they make of this an excellent work.My but you are honest congratulations Syyd.

This is a Photograph and not a map?? if it a photo. i would start submitting my photos to every one. BIG SALUTE>>>>>+

sudle but powerful. beauty all the way.

Syyd, this is exquisite and Chelsea is a work of art in herself..... All I can say is this: If you are even half the mother that you are a friend, .... your children are blessed. Thank you for sharing something so personal. Bless you. :O)

Such a beautiful image Syyd. Thank you and your daughter for sharing this with all of us.

Through the eyes of a mom. Of course all moms think their daughters are beautiful. You did a wonderful job showing this...She is beautiful. Being a mother of a 9 year old daughter. I am empathetic to your thoughts. Thanks for sharing.

Syyd, she is absolutely breathtaking! What a gorgeous face! I can totally relate to your thoughts. My daughter is not quite 4 years old yet and already I worry about her teen years, dating, prom, etc. It's scary being a mom, isn't it? :) She is obviously in the best and most loving of hands though hon'! She must be so proud to have you for a mom. :)

Glorious Syyd

Syyd, she is beautiful. I had no idea you had a daughter :) Thanks for sharing this lovely photo with us all. All the best to you, -Outi

This beautiful Syyd....both of you, and beautiful words also, and I sort of now how you feel, I don't know anything about being a mother, but I certainly know about being a father...and you can really scare yourself thinking about what or what not,might happen on any given day.......

Yep, although my kids haven't reached that age yet I know what you mean by growing up fast....it goes too damn fast, right? :-( But hey, I'm sure she'll make you very proud if she steps out into that big old world and change it in her own special way. Your own sentenes touched me more than any silly song... love, Johnnie..

i gotta look thru your gallery more syd the face is soft so beautiful i could look in her eyes for a while indeed

Beautiful, indeed! And an extension of yourself, while at the same time independent. The love shows on both ends of the camera.

Wonderful Image...I love the angle of the image and that eye watching me or something behind me,don't know, but that eye hiding something very interesting in my eyes...

..you have beautiful daughter. She seems so fragile, so powerful, so intelligent, so deep. Like her mother.

she has her mother's good looks and blessing, she will do well. this is an incredible picture.

caught my eye right away...beautiful Syyd!

Darling daughter you have there syyd...I wish her the best in life...With a Mom like you I'm sure she will excell in anything her heart desires in life.
