Did you experiment with some other angles, maybe moving a tad more to the left?

Very nicely done. In my experience, the "test shot" frequently ends up being the best. The subject is most relaxed and most natural.

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.
