a great shot to end on, like she is reflecting my reluctance to see these shots end

I think you captured a great shot here. The crop is just great. I love the colors added by the knit cap. I'd like to have see you focus on her youth. Under her eyes there seems to be bags as if she were crying....you can clone those out and give it more a youthful look. I would have also liked to see the small scar under her nose cloned out. Here eyes look great. They really engage the viewer. I think a pass of the dodge tool over the iris' would have bought them out more. The DOF of the shot really adds to it. Overall a great shot.

Now if you are trying to showcase the look of a schoolgirl from a certain country....ignore everything I just said. lol.

Oh I like this one in color a lot. The framing of her face by her knit cap is perfect.

It's been a real treat seeing your work through this side challenge Gunnar - and this is no exception.

You really manage to capture the expressions and emotions in these children as they play and relax..
