I think everything ... the mood the lighting the DOF the expression ... but sheesh ... that really really really hard sharpened edge under the top lip makes me cringe. It seems such a small fault with an absolutely gorgeous portrait.
Please don't get me wrong ... it is actually INCREDIBLE in all other ways ... It just looks like the bottom of her top lip was cut with scissors IMO.
... sorry ... but I thought you would like everyone's opinion ... please send me an email to tell me if you agree or disagree so I don't feel so guilty?
Edited later ...
oh ... STUPID me. I did not even think about looking at the editing rules allowed for the shot and did not notice it was Basic Editing Rules. I can see how this happened now and LOVE the shot and now realize that that lip halo would not be there on a full size image. It IS a beautiful image and something else that I just realized ... a PERFECT example of how rules should be broken in some instances and better for her looking OUT of the shot rather than in.

I think it took first place because it had the highest overall average. But I could be mistaken. ;) |
I think it was those great glasses...yeah...it was the cool glasses! Beautiful shot of our wee babe! Adding to fav's of course! |

Not sure why this took first place, it's burned out and not very interesting. Hmm
Perhaps, some "spectacles" may help??? :)
Lovely shot Tim! This must have been a difficult capture! Three year olds are notorious for sitting still at the best of times, let alone when trying to focus and get lighting right! I find this an interesting shot because it's quite a "natural" look on this child's face, even though it likely took about 50 shots to get it "right" *smile* Congratulations! Very well deserved! |

Nice picture, but as she is looking on right side, so space should be on right side not left. So that she looks into the frame :) |

Great expression, and the exposure looks great although it's a little overexposed...it makes is seem softer and gives the face a nice glow. |
