An incredible portrait that is crisp, sharp and properly framed and composed - a technical success in every way. From an artistic standpoint, it has significant impact being richly colored with excellant detail. This image would have worked as a black and white as well. A perfect demonstration of the power of properly controlled light and focus. Well done.

A good solid image that is crisp, sharp and properly framed and composed - a technical success in every way. From an artistic standpoint, it is an intersting image but of less than universal appeal. A good entry into the challenge.

The temptation when viewing images like this is to evaluate it as a "cute" image rather than with a critical eye. In this case, it works both ways - it is both cute and a complete technical success at the same time. That also applies to it's artistic success - a free form image properly composed and captured demonstrating mastery of light and framing. While probably not to everyone's taste, it is very effective and absoutely not a snapshot, but a pure portrait quality image. Very well done.

Majesty

Comment:
A good solid image that is crisp, sharp and properly framed and composed - a technical success in every way with a singular exception - the image seems rather flat and dull - perhaps it was intended that way, but it's not effective. From an artistic standpoint, it is an intersting image but of less than universal appeal. A good entry into the challenge.
