I knew I had to document something for my daughter Aviendas' 1st Xmas, and I waited too long to take anything, so I was not prepared. I didn't have a backdrop, extravagant display of presents, or an amazing tree to use. So I grabbed my Sony A6000, w/ the 50mm f1.8, threw some lights in this xmas bucket that she loved playing with, and took this shot early on Xmas morning. Even though it's not technically great, it is to this day one of my favorite images I've ever taken, and sits framed up on our wall at home in a 20x30 frame.

OK - I really love this. Maybe it's simple, but that's part of the charm. Going back through after rating to read comments I find myself resonating even more with your story and just wanted to share how precious I thought this was even without the description. Something about the light and her interest in it represents the magic & discovery of Christmas to a child. My opinion: any parent would cherish this shot.
