Voted earlier coming back to comment.

There is nothing like the enjoyment of a tasty donut...especially if it is bigger than your two hands (that is one problem with getter growing bigger, the desserts from childhood memory seem to shrink;-) ) The lighting is great on your subject - you have nice even tones on the skin and some nice highlights in the hair. This is an above average shot (7 to 8 range) but I have to wonder if you managed to capture the twinkle in the eyes as she raises the donut up ready to take a bite - that would have been the stellar shot.

Yummy, great portrait and incorporation of your little girl into this one. As someone who shoots his own children quite a bit I can certainly apreciate this. my only little criticism would be to clean your models fingernails before shooting anything involving hands, I've been guilty of forgetting this and is why I point it out. Other than that the colors here are nice and the eyes are sharp as they should be. Cute shot all around.

this is great - she looks as if she could eat it in one bite.

Overprocessed. Like crazy. That is all.

The biggest give away on the crazy processing here is the halos around the trees from tonemapping the image.

My suggestion for next time would be to separate the image into two halves, one the sky half, the other the ground and building, and adjust each separately, I would also suggest cutting back on the tonemapping, it's an awesome tool when used correctly, but a little goes quite a long way. :)

I know that "kid pix" don't always score high in some of these Challenges, but this one just tickles me no end! I love that there is even some of the sugar guck on both of her hands. Well done.

I'll do it myself!
