This was one of my favorites in this challenge. I would not have been surprised at all if this had won the blue ribbon.

I love this one! I don't vote in challenges I've entered, but this would have been one of my top scorers. Such character!

I think she is growing up, so begins to dream dreams and have hopes and fears, without knowing why

This is a beautiful portrait. That intense expression in her eyes, with such a sweet half-smile. So good!!!

I love your story! It's a wonderful photo. We can't save them all, but what you did probably made more of a difference in his life than you realize. It made him feel "seen". Validated. So many people walk by people like this and refuse to even look at them. Like they aren't even people. It sounds like you are a natural, so maybe we'll see more interesting storytelling faces like this one :)

I love this so much, Lev! I was sure it would win a ribbon. Usually when we both win a ribbon in the same challenge, you get the best ribbon, so THANK YOU for letting me beat you for once :)

Unmmm.... no.... anyone giving this a 2 is likely someone wanting to increase their odds. In a way, I wish we weren̢۪t allowed to vote on challenges we̢۪ve entered. But I̢۪m glad it won a red ribbon. It̢۪s an amazing photo! Congratulations!!
