An absolutely outstanding portrait. The "rule" is that the eyes make a portrait, but this is one of those cases where breaking the rules (not showing her eyes) really works. Excellent! I bet she gets her good looks from her mommy, too!

Hmmm... yes, the crinkly light dress is a studio mainstay. Nice example of the genre ...

Of course this is the winner! Everything is just perfect. I love the hand colored look, remember when we did it with inks? the light is lovely but that shadow along the back of her face, neck, arm is exquisite. 10

Comment by David.C:
Lighting: Very nice, even and well balanced, light that is giving wonderful skin tones. However, there is a touch of over-exposure in the crown and lower-left gown and the harsh shadow under the chin is not flattering.
Pose: Near perfect. The only think I could recommend would be to raise her head just a bit (diminishing the shadow) and placing her left hand on her lap. On a related note, the tip of her wand seems to be outside your DOF or blurred from motion and is quite distracting from an otherwise well posed shot.
Background: Not much to say about the background. A very (very) light shade of pink would have kept with the theme better, but would have provided much less separation.
