I like the perspective/angle on this; it's like the house is exploding with happiness or something, haha.

I wish the headlights of that car hadn't been in the pix, for me it's the only thing that prevents a 10! Nice Job

Thanks for all the constructive and encouraging comments. And especially thanks to ubique for that in-depth comment. I'm glad someone agrees with me not cloning out the flare. I preferred the feeling of this image in its vanilla state, flaws and all.

Wow, I expected this to place much higher. I was one of the 2 people to give you a 10 !

I'm not sure why others aren't seeing what I see. Despite the glare of the sun, the model's face is still really nicely lit. She is a stunner, and has a wonderful expression. The image just looks pure to me, and is difficult to acheive to this standard. I loved it.

Looks like a fashion magazine shot. Nice play with the contre-jour!
