Nice composition, cropping, framing, and use of contrasting colors......

Wow... This is the first shot that I've seen this challenge that made me stop and look closer. Very simple. Very emotive. Makes you think about when you were little. I like it! Not one that cares for fancy borders, but your image is strong enough that the border doesn't make me wanna knock off a point.

Edited to add: Wish it were bigger, but your crop is spot on!

Distracting border takes away from an otherwise excellent image.

A good capture which helps the viewer dislocate from current affairs and enjoy a long forgotten time where innocence and simplicity was the rule of the day. The posture and the hands in the water illicit a dreamy and almist surreal feeling. The subdued colors add to this ethereal feeling.

Comment by BobsterLobster:
Must have been hard work with nail scissors. Quality of light seems a bit dull, and white balance on paper seems too yellow.

Nice technique of not showing her face. Very mystic looking. I like it. The border is overdone and detracts from the overall image.
