Tender

I love this photograph. To me, the softening *works* -- when I first looked at the photo, I was amazed at how smooth and soft and flowing her hair, face skin were! I love the effect here -- it's fantastic. My eyes kept coming back to her hair, her face, her skin; to me, that's one sign that a photograph is good -- you want to keep looking and looking. She's a lovely girl, and you captured natural light on her face in a very attractive way.
My only suggestion would be to be careful when shooting white clothing on kids/people, b/c they often tend to "flouresce" and look blue-ish or over-whited in a finished digital shot. For me, anyway, it's really hard to get white clothes to look best in a digital picture. Sometimes I deliberately ask people to change, just b/c it's so hard to get the white clothes to look their best when the face/skin look THEIR best.
But that aside, I still love this picture. I'm new to this forum, hopefully will register soon, and I really look forward to seeing more of your work. Thanks for sharing this photo! :)
