Absolutely stunning! The lighting is fantastic, the details are sharp (haven't NI'd the skin to plastic). You can see the young adult in this young lady coming out. Boy are you going to have your hands full when she grows up with all those young men knocking at the door. :D My top pick. Good luck (doubt you'll need it) in the challenge.

Gotta agree with the comment about this one scoring a below 6, I would have given it a 9, only leaving out the 10 because I would have wanted to see a stronger focus on her eye, it seems a little bit out of focus (at least I assume that is the problem as motion blur seems out of the question at 1/350) Really dig this shot and the coloring, composition and moment are ACE. Went to my favorites.

I'm pretty well disappointed in the voting crowd, for many reasons lately, least of which is this much under-rated shot here. This deserved top-10 at the very lowest, top five in all honesty. If you want to switch places, let me know, because this shot totally blows mine out of the water.

Very brave of you to go with foreground bokeh.

You got nailed, probably, by the literals who think if:
a) you can tell what the out of focus stuff is or
b) there aren't little circles or
c) you didn't meet their own private little definition
then there is no bokeh.

Stunning photograph. Great lighting in the eyes. Great contrast. Nice lines with the arms. Great expression from the child. Picked to finish to 5.
