Oh this is beautiful! Love the play of light that really picks up the shine & highlights in her hair. Tones and contrasts are captured beautifully - especially on her skin. Detail, lighting, and composition is just wonderful. Lovely capture of this little girl with a pondering expression. It makes me wonder just what she is so intent in thought about.

Nice lighting and texture of the petals. Seems a little grainy to me though.

Greetings from the Critique Club!

This shot was almost an excellent portrait. While I do love the angle and composition, there are a few things here that are hurting your image overall. Firstly, remember the eye will naturaly find the brightest point in an image. In this case the brightest point is also the sharpest point and that is the point of his glasses. This unfortunately draws the eye straight past his face (the portrait)and causes it to stick on that one spot. The blown highlights on his hands is unfortunate as well. I think with a little more care with composition you could have nailed this one.

Good luck in future challenges.
