Congratulations, both on your beautiful daughter and your beautiful portrait. I envy you, my daughter is all grown up and out of the house, across the country, so no more chance of using her as my go-to model ). The only nitpick I have, I would crop out the left part of the frame, possibly for a square format, that bright glare detracts from beautifully and softly lit face.

I like the idea to make this soft and dreamy as an image. Works well as an enticing advertisement

I'm so happy for you for this first place – congratulations!

When I first saw this picture, I knew it would win. It was my highest vote.
Your daughter has a pure beauty, which you really brought out with the soft light, fantastic.
I hope we'll see her here again in the future.

Well done, Jonathan. I never suspected this was yours, but I was very intrigued.

What a classically beautiful daughter you have. She has an excellent side profile.

Well-deserved blue and a great score. Now you have a new photo on your profile page.

I like your image it has a feeling of running from the weather in a peaceful town. Well suited for this challenge.

Well done - I'm relieved that you struggled with motion panning too.
Your shot has a dreamlike ambiance - really cool!
Have you thought about cropping a little bit? Might be interesting
