This whole set was nicely done Cole! I bet a tad of diffuse glow followed by a very subtle vignette would really set this one off.

Beautiful model and great set-up. I like the reflections on the floor.

My only suggestion would be to disengage the model from the camera... perhaps have her look off in the general direction her left hand is pointing, but, I don't know, that might make the model seem strained. It would be a shame to loose her graceful feeling.

This shot is incredible. You should have used this in a Free Study. I think this would have scored very high.

this one made me smile .. they are all just as cute as a button, or rather several buttons ... lovely photograph .. how difficult it is to take quite a few little ppl and get a great expression on each face .. you've totally succeeded .. i'm sure this will end up on a few walls .. !!..:)
it looks like your portrait lighting class sure paid off .. !!..:)

Compositionally, I really like the tight crop of this and the "unoccupied" space to the viewer's left. This crop really forces the viewer to focus on the eyes, which are full of expression -- it is almost a "I didn't do it, promise" look.

Technically, it is a very well done black and white, and the focus/exposure, etc. are also well done.

Overall, a very well done shot, as the commenters have aleady told you.

What a great candid. Your post work is spot on and the composition works well. Kids are amazing and it's cool that your daughter shares in the craziness that is photography. I know my boys sure put up with a lot from their old man. Congrats on your top 10 with this honest and beautiful image.
