I took this photograph on the same afternoon as the the one I used for the Photo Friday challenge – Childhood. I was going to use it for this week’s challenge – Treasured – but I didn’t think it was technically all that good, nor as aesthetically pleasant as the images I did use.
Nonetheless, having spent some time working on it, I’m reasonably pleased with how it turned out and do think it’s a nice image (if not an overly good one).
I also think that it does a good job of capturing the relationship between three of our daughters. When this was taken the youngest was just over nine months old and couldn’t walk unaided. But, from what I remember, she spent quite a lot of time being helped around by her older sisters and this image nicely captures the various ways in which they helped out with her care.

I *like* that photo, the colors are nice and well balanced. One thing that could be improved is the placement of the horizon - it's on the level of girls heads, which can be felt as little bit distracting. I think it could be placed lower. Anyway, great photo!

Phoetica: thanks, and I agree about the horizon, it is distracting (this was one of those images that started out as more of a snapshot than a serious photograph, so I wasn't thinking too much about composition at the time).

the colours are stunning! one might think you created the scenery (colour of clothes ...) by purpose!
where has this been taken?
hannah: the colours are reasonably faithful to the original scene but I did enhance the final version with Fred Mirand's Digital Velvia filter:

And the picture was taken at Castle Hill, near to where we live:

I'm glad you liked it :-)

Lovely colours and composition. Nice how their clothes are coordinated too.
Another really eye catching shot. Well done!
