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.

Comment by JuliBoc:
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.

This is beautiful Catherine. You did a great job making her comfortable in front of the camera. She does in fact look so pretty in front of those beautiful flowers!

I think this is a nice portrait. More detail then you see in most portraits. I'm surprised it didn't score higher. I think Jeffrey is right. You must have a regular portrait background or DPC will crush you.

That's an unexpected.... well, live and learn. Still a very nice image. Bet it would be even nicer without grain ;-)
