Beautiful!!!!!!!! I love this kind of picture. I can see this framed on a wall with an inspirational verse in the bottom left corner. Great job.

Interesting response you got from many as regards her age and nudity. I am also one who finds nudity among children often inappropriate, but I don't find that to be the case here. For me this is in no way sexual. It conveys innocence for me. For me, nudity in and of itself is not ugly and wrong; the morality of it for me boils down to intent (or perceived intent). I have been offended by nudish shots of children before (in fact, there's one in the current lighting challenge), but I hope we're not so sensitized that we throw the good out with the bad.

Sally Mann caused quite a stir about 20 years ago for her controversial images of her own children, often unclothed. YOu can check out some of her work here:

edited to add: the neat image or other noise reduction technique is taken to far for me in this shot.

I think this would be a great shot if at least one eye was shown. Nice DoF.

I'm not sure if that's over sharpening or other post-processing, but the halo around the silhouette is distracting.
