After comparing this photo to your Color Studio Portrait III entry "Wild Child", I think I give the nod to Wild Child. I love the colors of the scarf in this one, but I prefer the more natural look of her hair in the other photo. It's a tough choice though because they are both wonderful portraits. Congratulations!

Wow, she's a cutie! The photo makes her look like two handfuls of attitude. :D

This is a wonderful portrait with personality. I like the background too. Good work!

I confess I didn't vote on all the images in this challenge and this is one I hadn't seen until now. I'm pleased it at least made the top 30. The eyes do not stike me as fake or overdone (something I'm usually sensitive to). I agree with the comments that a slightly deeper depth of field might be an improvement, but I think that "flaw" is offset by the loveliness of the young model and the stunning colors, fore and aft.

I love the way everything works together here. The blue eyes, the colours in the scarf, and the harmonizing background. This is a beautiful portrait of a beautiful girl.

She gazed warily, with a hint of smile, as if unsure of me and my presence, but giving in to her instincts to be friendly. I smiled back, softly, and lifted the camera with a questioning look. A glance at her mother, sitting nearby gave her the permission she needed to give me a nod.

A slight positioning, a click, and her simple beauty captured. A girl trying to learn the world, and her place in it, the dangers and joys that can conflict in every moment.

I thanked her and walked away, wondering what other wonders of the world I'd find.
