Well I am so happy I can't explain. I got lot of nice comment & rating on this photograph. I will like to thank all the commentator's & voter's.

This is the photograph of my daughter. Well she likes to observe the bus & traffic on the road through the small window in the gallery. Because of her natural expression (which child's all the time give) I was able to capture the nice photograph.

But in the hurry of capturing the photo I left somewhat more space behind her. So I have to crop the photo more which in the end I thought gave a square look rather than a landscape so I added that type of border to look more like landscape, which I think really added the photo.

By using channel mixture for making B & W, using sepia filter I was able to achieve the tonal range.

I agree, I removed the noise too much but because of that I think child's skin became smoother, softer & clean, which I personally like very much so I can't avoid the temptation for doing that.

Cute capture. Seems a bit overprocessed.

Technically excellent. I love the tonal range and the crisp focus. It makes me curious what she's looking at.

The only thing I can comment on is that there isn't much natural looking noise - it looks just a touch plastic. Still, excellent shot!
