Alas the lighing is a bit too hot! Too much contrast is lost. But a nice pose and a pretty model.

Well done. Nice composition. More of a relaxed feel. The B&W works well.

Very pretty. For my taste, the head is tilted a little too far and the writing on the shirt ditracts from her. Back ground is great and so is the tone. BOL

Very nice model
The image seems a little on the soft side but I like that dreamy sort of quality it goes with the image well

I guess Taylor won't have to complain that you use Hailey too much for contests anymore. ;) I remember this punkin from the Off-center (i think) challenge. She's as adorable as ever, and you've done a great job catching her personality on camera (what's that, innocence? sincereity? i don't know...something). Anyway, love it Paige. great job.

Comment by KevinRiggs:
This is not only a cute capture it is a fairly well done portrait. In color it might actually be better as my main nits are related to skin tone and texture. While this capture skirts around with having blown out sections it maintains good solid representation of the depth and texture of the hair, eyes and shirt. The skin on the face lacks some definition, however, between the brows and the hairline, on the subject's right cheek and the chin. The subject's arm also loses some definition around the wrist. One thing that might actually help this while still maintaining the monochromatic look is to go into Channels in Photoshop (or similar program); select only the Green channel and choose the whole photo (click on the green channel and then choose Select | All); now select all the channels by clicking the RGB selection and then go back to the Layers tab. Create a new layer; select the newly created layer and chose Edit | Paste (or CTRL-V) to paste the Green channel over the top of the RGB version. Now you can change the Blend mode and the Opacity to bring out some definition in the skintones while keeping the monochromatic look to the image (you'll probably find that somewhere around 10% opacity inserts enough definition without giving too much of a hue to the image). This edit is allowed with the Advanced editing rules in place. Good subject and good capture.

A bit out of focus. Nice tilt in the head and cropping.

A great shot. I love the pose and the expression. It looks like you really captured the subject having a good time. Also, I like that the smile doesn't look forced. I love the tones and the overall composition. Good luck!

Technically this is very good. Maybe a bit more contrast..but good just the same.
The text on her shirt is a distraction. Good going.
