Thanks Marc, for putting your thoughts so nicely, and Chuck and Tom for

The composition was sheer luck. Capturing active wiggleworms at 1/60
sec. and under at all isn't a snap. The prior shot is similar, except
that Rachel's face is throughly OOF. In the one before that, she managed
to completely turn her head by the time the shutter snapped. A nicely
focused shot of the back of her head.
I was just shooting part of the time we were chatting and playing with
the kids.
