What he said (unsure if it's ok for strangers to remark on the looks of ones daughter)

Ive seen this before and studied it trying to work out why it's great and how it isn't spot on. seeing your inspirational image I worked out my suggestion is the background could be a little to vibrant and if it were a softer grey/white it may have scored better in the challenge.

What a beautiful shot and the lighting is amazing. Your daughter has flawless skin and a beautiful face. You did an excellent job (as did she) in making her look like Twiggy ... I wish I knew my lighting system as well as you do. Of course, I don't take the time to study all the tips at strobist and other such sites. I learn so much better from watching. But getting back to you - kudos for creating this photo.

I thought this was a wonderful portrait, quirky with lots of personality. I find it amazing how this could end up so far down in the challenge....

It's the little details that make images like this fun. For instance the half button right above the hands, the off center tie, the general wholesomeness of the image - well done. I hope it places high.
