I had told my husband about this shot saying it was one of the best portraits I'd seen here....it really stands out and the ornament was a perfect holiday idea. Good job and congratulations.

My favorite of a challenge usually doesn't even ribbon - this one did. Very nice work!

The thing I loved about this was the way the eyes matched the ornament. That and it's simply an exquisite and well-done portrait - the softness is just right for this. Congrats on the blue! Now print this up nice and big and give it to your niece.
