I really like this image. My only suggestion would be that it seems a bit dark in spots - however, I know how difficult it must have been to get the balance just right with the light source as it is. Good luck!

So much to learn.

A very sweet picture. You really captured her ernest expression. I can really get a sense of the child's personality just by looking at this photo. It's well composed. My only suggestion would be to play around a bit with the white balance. Something in the colour appears slightly off on my computer. However, overall this is a very nice photo> Good luck!

Very interesting lighting - I like that you used negative space and lighting/tones to balance the image composition. Good luck!

I love the way the hair is actually part of the balance/negative space in this composition. I like the lighting and the details. The contrast is really nice. I'm not sure if it would improve things to be more of a black and white instead of a monocrhrome (it shows up slightly green on my monitor), but overall I really like it. Good luck!
