Critique Club:
composition: very good composition. she is placed well in the frame and my eyes go directly to hers.
color: the reds compliment each other very well here, which is a hard feat. Usually the same color on color dosent look good, but the polkadotted shirt really adds to the contrast between the two. great job.
contrast: good contrast, perhaps a little more contrast in her eyes would have made them pop a little more, but thats just me
focus: I agree with you and others, a little less shallow DOF would have put her mouth and eyes in focus, making the image even more fun. But, It dosent bother me that much, honestly.
depth of field: already talked about.
lighting: I think the lighting is well controlled. I dont think its too bright at all, to me it looks perfect.
other: I saw this image during voting and thought, "What a cute shot! Its going to place pretty high" It looks like it got a real nice score in the end, so congrats to that. The only thing I can think of that the voters may have voted you down on was the DOF. But, live and learn. You should be very happy with this adorable shot anyways. Keep up the great work, and If you have any other questions, feel free to Pm me.
-Kari Ann
