Wow! I didn't get to vote on all entries, but this one would have gotten a definite 10 from me. I love how pure and innocent the girl is, contrasting to the dark and graingy surroundings. She looks like a little China doll! Keeping the leaves in the foreground is a nice touch too. Excellent!!! You should definitely put this on DPCPrints.

Nice selective desat. The image is very crisp and fits the challenge very well. The blurred license plate is distracting and I can't help but wonder if there was a better way to shoot this and not give away the license plate.

I commented this 2 times already, I came back to this image over and over, and it's amazing I can't help one more :)). It's like I don't even know if you neatimaged it or not, some makeup is there too, but you mastered it so well that despite it's softness every single little detail is there and not melt like in the overneatimaged miages DPC seems to love so much.
It's just beautiful, the colors the expression, marvellous, everything, a masterpiece. Add to that your daughter is a little beauty.
I'd add this in my favorites 10 times. I'm so happy when somethin like this wins.

Cristi.

Yeah I don't typical care for this either but it definitely gives it a unique look. It does look better on females, IMO. Anyway, like what everyone else has said, it's a fantastic photo.
