Fantastic! Great conversion, congratulations! I didn't pick this as yours, you do portraits well, and why shouldn't you :)

Striking portrait. I think the contrast works well to emphasize her introspection.

I like it, kind of. Seems so contrived when there's so much outside of a studio to shoot. Just my first impression.

i'm not a great fan of photos of children especially, looking either forlorn or sad .. but this really grabs me .. its a wonderful portrait .. everything is just perfect .. her expression has an intensity and presence that i will find it hard to forget in a hurry .. it has an old world charm as well ..
your black and white edit is magic ..
if this doesnt ribbon i will actually be quite annoyed .. !! .. as it deserves top honours ..
i'm not voting yet .. :)
