It's important to see the continuity of the shadow from the feet up or there is no trick. If you separate the shadow from the body by cropping, then the viewer may assume it's a painted or printed shadow on the wall, a backlit scrim, or coming from another model outside the frame. The full shadow is a tougher visual puzzle, and I'm sure a cropped version would not have made the top 20.

I did not mean for this challenge ... I only meant that I liked the light and expression so much in this image that a waist up crop of your daughter alone would make a good portrait shot IMO ... like so ... ... except not cropped so much from a low res image ...

As care free and candid looking as it gets ... whether it was or not. Well done making us feel like an intruder on her private moment of boredom and daydreaming.

P.S. Not to mention that the technicals on this image are sharp and beautiful.

I do too and think a bit of cropping would really show that off better. I do not think that the right two nor the left two horses help this photo much but for the sheer numbers if that is what you were trying to show ...

If I might suggest a crop frame for this photo, please feel free to email me and give me permission to muck with the crop on it and send it back to you? I really think cropping would enhance this photo which I think, otherwise, is right on the mark.
