Too much border.

pretty....nice lighting

I like the soft focus in a sea of sharps. I think sometimes that we forget that soft focus can have its own nice effect--i.e., tenderness. Good luck.

Beautiful shot...a touch on the soft side IMO but there's something very sweet about it none-the-less. 7

Very cute but I am not sure the frame and matting does it any favours. - 7

Properly named, she is sweet! I think too many shots in this competition are too soft, but the soft focus works well with this shot. Nice work!

I like the nice soft focus of this shot, along with the contrast. (8)

lovely, I like the frame, which is something I usually dislike about an image.. should score well in this low scoring challenge. 7

Beautiful young lady there! But, somehow, the soft focus and "blanched out" or as some would call it in here, "blown out" areas might be just a bit too blown out. I get where you were going with this idea though! Nice shot!

the color difference between the border and the photo don't work real well for me - i like the photo a lot but the border brings it down

I like the photo but the DOF seems slightly to shallow still a 5

too much frame - a bit unsharp - otherwise a nice portrait - keep up the good work - 6

What a precious princess!

It is sweet, which makes me wonder why you felt the need to frame it. The photo speaks for itself

Looks like "old school".

Beautiful portrait, IMHO the frame is verry distracting.
