Beatiful eyes and expression, but it is very soft for DPC standards.

Beautiful eyes. The soft effect kind of reminds me of old wedding albums of the 70s/80s. Not sure if that is a good thing. I think the exposure is terrific. Curious what this would look straight out of the camera without the vignette. Adorable child and a picture to remember.

I loved this shot ... it was one of my 10s. The funny expression on her face just makes the shot, and the processing nicely accentuates the overall feel of the image. I was one of your two 10s. I could easily see this on one of those funny, arty greeting cards.

An interesting image, certainly different from the norm in terms of composition and content.

Although I normally like face-on portraits of children I like the way that the anonymity of the model makes it a more universal image - more about the theme/ idea/ story than the individual.

The foliage at bottom left is a little too confused being so near to where I'd expect the head to be, and similar in colour to the model's hair. I'd like to see a pose with the back of the head more obviously included.

The clouds and sky and reflected foliage top right are nice.

Nor sure about the triangle of orange lower right.

I'm in two minds about the black at top left. On one hand it connects with the title of the photograph. On the other, that theme/ idea doesn't come across at all without the title. Then again, why should it, since there's no reason an artist can't choose to present the image and title as a whole, always to be shown together...
