Good composition, but the lack of focus really hurts.

I like the concept of this, but the processing is a bit overboard, in my opinion. Also, I think a closer, lower perspective, would help to show the little girl better.

I would have a heart attack if a snake came up out of my dress.

First off, this is a very strong portrait, that has a very nice, relaxed look to it.

Compositionally,I like the vertical orientation, but it feels a bit tight on the right. A wider crop would have made it feel less cramped, I think, and would have helped to counterbalance the good use of negative space.

Technically, exposure and focus are good on this shot. I see littlegett's comments about lighting, and while I wouldn't argue with them, I do like how the light "falls off" of through the frame. To me, it imitates natural light and also gives a bit of depth that even lighting and even "highlighting," sometimes doesn't do.

Overall, I think it is definitely an "above average" portrait.

Absolutely stunning and one of my favorite in the challenges; I was so glad to see it on the front page, exactly where it belonged. The lighting is great, the composition works very well, and he has a natural expression that does not look forced at all. Very nicely done!
