I think this shot would have worked better in b+w and also shot a little wider aswell. It's just too close.

Very good outdoor lighting at midday, tough time of day. As mentioned eye contact, maybe a little fill flash as well.

Nice composition, and crystal clear. I'm guessing a high end dslr
camera was used here. Good job.

Isn't she lovely. The photographer and subject are happy with each other. It shows.

Good setting, nice even light on the face, and the only "improvement" would be to have the eye contact someone else mentioned. I liked this one when voting - it was real.

She's beautiful, Catherine, and you captured that beauty. I think it would have scored better if she was looking into the camera, and if there was a little more contrast. I like the softness in this shot, but when compared with the other entries in the challenge it appears a little washed out. From the standpoint of a family keepsake, I think this will be treasured. From a photography contest point of view, it lacks impact. My impression is "that is her", it doesn't show me any specific aspect of her or a mood or an emotion. I gave it a 6.
