I am astounded that this didn't resonate with more voters. It was in my top 3 of the challenge.

You have done so well this picture!

I love it. I thought I gave it a 10, but it doesn't show my vote. :-(.

See, all the people you commented, and took time to appreciate it, gave it a very high score. 7.57.

Regards,
Vikram

P.S. One more thing, you aperture shows 1.8, and that is what it looks like. But your lens does not have that aperture, maybe you specified other lens by mistake.

she looks a little like one of the olson twins! Very cute, I love the eye contact and messed up hair

That face would inspire anyone! Beautiful girl, beautifully shot.
I think I would have muted that strong blue on the left to be less distracting, though.

I think the depth of field here is beautiful. The soft focus perfectly enhances the subject and works very well with the soft colors. Amazing job. 9

Really lovely portrait. I always wonder what something such as this would look like in a BW conversion. I like the lighting and DOF.
