Love shots like this, a B&W look is so much better than it being in colour :-)

Greetings from the Critique Club

Oh, I'm so pleased this did well in this low scoring Challenge. I remember this image well from the Challenge and voted it high.

Beautifully composed and an unforced cheerfulness from your little girl model. Focus is spot on and the flowers are nicely placed.

What's not to like? It's a good image and one you can be proud of.

I wish you continued success in your DPC experience.

What a lovely little girl. I really like the b&w conversion. The orchids are beautiful too. Nice entry. Too bad she didn't end up in your top row. It would have been fun to have here there on your profile page.

I love the portrait! Not so fond of the desat, though I do realize that was the challenge. I'd like to see this either in color or black and white. Beautifully lit, well composed, very nice work.

Beautiful little girl. I'm having trouble with this one because I really think the shot would be better with NO color (which of course would make it DNMC). The colorful flowers keep pulling me away from her whimsical expression, which I think should be the focal point.
You also have a little problem with color shadowing the area around the flowers - I presume from the way you selected that area. You may get dinged overall for that. But don't let it bother you, this is a great photo (exceptions noted) and you should be pleased with it.
