1Opinion of the Court
Beasley, Judge.
Bright appeals his conviction for the molestation of his girl friend’s daughter, who was five at the time of trial, by touching the child’s vaginal area with his penis. OCGA § 16-6-4 (a).
1. Appellant contends the evidence was legally insufficient but does not specify how it was lacking; he merely presents his version of it and points to arguably favorable portions. The evidence as a whole was sufficient to enable a rational trier of fact to find appellant guilty of child molestation beyond a reasonable doubt. Jackson v. Virginia, 443 U. S. 307 (99 SC 2781, 61 LE2d 560) (1979).
