It is a little too over-NeatImaged for my taste, but that kind of photo is going down well on DPC at the moment for some reason. A lot of detail has been lost and the hair comes over somewhat smudgy. Congratulations on your ribbon anyway.

Good action shot! But I know for a fact these girls are not delicate, I have seen them playing! I wouldn't want to play against some of them :)))))

I've looked at both the color version and this one. I prefer this one a lot more as the contrasts come over a lot better. The composition is excellent as I can only expect from you Manny. Choice as ever. The vignetting effect comes over well, giving the subject a natural framing. The pose with the flowers, the look on her face, it all fits together in harmony. However the processing bothers me a little. I would have prefered to see grain in this. Grain would have come over a lot better for me, not too much just a little. This is too soft in the face and arms, almost as if you had put NeatImage into it. Also the flower on the left is blending too much into th sleeve of the girl's top. I would have liked to have seen some more detail there. Other than that good! Lighting is good, just a touch too harsh from the left. The eyes are perfect and overall, a super photo!
