I am amazed that this got the blue ribbon! Without the girl in the background it definately deserves it. Guess I'll NEVER figure out the DPC voting public. Lemme say again awesome shot that would have been down right bad ass without the extra element of the second (almost) subject!

The girl in the background is an unnecesary element that detracts from an otherwise flawless portrait that fits in perfectly with the challenge theme. Take her out of the shot and this goes up a point maybe two! Great b/w portrait!

I like the use of BW and the detail sharpness is great.

Beautifully exposed and a lovely use of space. I would like to see it with the (sister) cropped out. The main character would still be far enough to one side for her to be looking into the centre of the picture. Would like to know if it was a "grabbed shot" or set up. If it was grabbed it was great. If it was set up - I would like to see some of the others.

Fantastic image, my favourite of the challenge by quite a long way. Great composure, lighting and beautiful pose and expression on the little one. Good luck with this one.
