Minimal, but the placement of the subject doesn't work for me, and choice of subject isn't particularly appealing to me, either. I would have made the background black either completely flat or with more texture; I find the one fold toward the left out of place.

Griz, she is BEAUTIFUL! I don't know why it only scored 5.1 tho. I know they are verrrrrrrrrrry picky about portraits, but I don't think they should have been that picky about this one. Melethia's right -- you have captured her personality and sparkle!

A competent and emotive entry. The conversion seems to me to be a tad off......it has that grey cast that seems to be a problem with the conversion. The light on her left arm is a little bright. Enough with the nit-picking......you have managed to capture a soft sweet moment with this lovely subject, something that is all too hard to do. What a truly nice photograph.

Comment by Melethia:
A sweet, natural, warm portrait. It may need a bit more in lighting but you got the important part, and that's passing along a bit of the person's personality.

The arm on the left is too bright for the rest of the pic. Nice relaxed pose and smile.
