Stellar. The subject's expression is priceless, the capture of the solitary bubble, the clarity of focus and perfect DOF keep the girl in sharp focus while maintaining clarity of the reflections in the bubble. The colors and soft focus combine to add a nostalgic feel to an already perfect capture.

I like the choice of slight desaturation.

Charming beyond words. The facial expression with pouting lips and blown cheeks can not but enthrall the viewer. Now, the post processing is not at its very best. You have here a very good exposure, yet post processing has added a dark brown perimeter around the image followed by a halo of um artifact. This is evident around the shoulders and arms. The harsh crease on the joint of the left shoulder could have been addressed by a transparant clone because about this very area there is a breaking down of the quality of skin tones.

Yet, the image has enough zap to outsail these minor setbacks. The model carries the day. Bumping up to 6

Oh my goodness. Could that little girl BE any more adorable!!! What can I say. This picture is above perfect! The expression on her face, as she concentrates on blowing. The capture of teh bubble. I wish there was a score of 12! But since there isn't, I'll just settle for 10.

Love that look, so much concentration, great catch. The light is nice and soft, the background colors add a special touch. Just a great image.

:-) Really good shot here! I love the expression on the little girls face! Can't see if she's looking directly at the bubble though. 9

Very nice colors - perfect - also like the texture and grain. Hope you don't get too bashed by the Neat Image brigade. 10

How fun. I wonder how many bubbles she had to blow to get your shot? You captured her look perfectly and the post processing is very well done. But the coloration, I'm guessing you did a bit of desaturation seems just a bit off to me, not sure why. I guess I'm thinking the dress should be a bit brighter for some reason, not sure why. And is that you in the reflection of the bubble? A 9

Lovely. The capture of her eyes tracking the bubble is perfect.
