Oooooh, nice shot! I love photos like this. I have to say my faith in the out-of-the-box mindset of most dpc voters isn't very strong, so I hope you aren't getting punished for this not being a person -- because I think it is very cool art :)

Not voting on this one, but I had to comment. I think this portrait is a standout in this challenge. She is absolutely radiant, and the technical aspects on this are flawless! Good Luck! It should most definitely be in the very top few -- in my opinion.

WOW! This is a museum piece! CONGRATULATIONS on perfection in a them that is tough to get technical perfection.

P.S. I just read how you got the shot, and I am even more in awe. Your creativity is brilliant, and I think the sensitivity to set-up shots is only when it is executed so flawlessly that it doesn't LOOK all that set-up. You NAILED it! Congratulations again!

Woo Hoo! I'd say, "Nanny nanny boo-boo" to anyone who thought she might be a bit soft. I think a yearning little girl thru a window is supposed to be a little soft. It adds to the mood of the photo.

You're awesome, Deb! CONGRATULATIOS! And a Happy New Year to YOU! Way to say good-bye to the old year and Hellllooooo to the New one :)
