I wish the hand was not there. I love the expression of the two girls in the background. Nice concept.

I did indeed consider the befitting connection with a Hindu Goddess such as Mahadevi, Durga, Saraswati, Sri Lakshmi, Parvati, Kali, Mahavidya and Navadurga or even Sita, Radha, Matrikas and Shakti Peeths.

Alas I didn't have time to look up their names during voting.

I was however going to 'suggest' that it would have made a good and (maybe) unique image with more of the arms included. The nice smiling face, nice warm tones, coupled with the range of 'dots' (nice ones), created a nice image. 'Nice'.

This reminds me of yankos work - but much better. You should give him lessons. He needs some help.

Nice one. Great subject, clarity and dof. The eyes came out very well. To decide whether I would prefer it if she weren't framed by the elbows...

Good depth of field, but the other limbs are a bit distracting.
