Beautiful portrait. The simplicity and the touch of color in the background make this outstanding.

What is it about this photo? I stirs some distant memory, so deeply subconscious that it is intangible and unfathomable - not a memory of another picture, but of a feeling, an ambiance, something... On one level I want to crop this differently - some off the right, more off the top, but I think that it would not then resonate the way that it does. The warmth of the colours is subtle, the warmth of feeling is strong. It is a wonderfully engaging image and has remained with me long after initial viewing. I'm back to bump this up.

Not so keen on the border but the image is great. Boosting a bit.

Gorgeous! The cropping is awkward to me (there's too much above her) but, in some ways it does sort of enhance the slight gawkiness of the child... Anyway, wonderful portrait, and it benefits from the wide white border.

Excellent portrait and the background is perfect. I gives it a retro look.

this is absolutely perfect and fits the description of the challenge to a T.

this is photography to me...it's nice to see that, at least to me, seems like it didn't spend much time in post like so many of the photographs in this challenge as well as on the site in general.

the subject is beautiful, interesting and simple, the backdrop is visually pleasing, it has clarity without being too sharp, the colors, the composition and the WARMTH...you just nailed it.

it has journalistic value, tells a story or at the least draws one, and draws me in..can't stop looking at this one...

this is what i strive for in my portraits and photography...i hope i can get to this level one day...thank you.

simplicity is bliss...

love it.

thank you.
