Rob, Funny you should mention the background. Aubrey is a strong willed little girl and on this particular occasion, she had decided that she was *not* going to have her picture taken. She was running all over the place, making quite a racket. I resorted to having my oldest daughter hold her, while mother talked to her and played with her to get the angle right. I cropped pretty tightly to remove as much as possible and opened the aperture up to blur the background, hoping to remove all the chaos around her. I think I largely succeeded, but must be a few remaining distractions. Based on her behavior, I was very pleased to have her "pose" for this shot.
