Comment by David.C:
Lighting: The lightin is good, with the exception of the lack of separation between the hair and the background
Pose: Sorry, but the model looks seriously depressed, not the most flattering for a portrait. The focus is on the elbow, and is not as sharp as it could have been once it gets to the face and ear.
Background: Works well with the tone of the image.

Gorgeous. If an oil painting, it would certainly be hanging in a museum. Perhaps it will as a photo also. A 10.

First class image..the lighting is superb..my only reservation is the centre composition. When I blot out the lefthand side of the image (from the edge of the hair back) leaving the child looking into dark negative space it adds impact (for me). I stress that this is only personal preference and I am no expert in portraiture..but I do know that this image will finish with a high placing as it is an excellent piece of work

Good lighting to see the hair on the table, "limited color scheme" works well.

Very sweet portrait. I like the lighting very much. You can picture the window just in front of her eyes as she looks out and dreams. Very nice.
