Love this shot. It is amazing how you captured almost all of your subjects' emotions and I am also very jealous of you for having found so many soulful and beatiful subjects.

Having lived in a poor town in West Africa .... I understand the hidden message behind this photo. It is like the look on the face of a little boy I met in West Africa who was so desperate to know: when and where will the next meal come?

beautiful colors, but i think the blurred nose is a little too distracting... maybe its just because the transition from sharp to blurred is a little abrupt.. it looks good where the cloth on the right side sharply goes from in focus to out of focus (the bottom portion), but the cloth at eye-level also seems to go blurry distractingly...

well deserved blue ribbon. congrats.

You know you have created yourself a style all your own when you can identify the photographer during the challenge simply from the photograph's feel and texture. Like Ansel Adams' images, librodo's images are that distinctive.

This is my absolute, hands-down, no-doubt-about-it FAVORITE in this challenge. This is a wonderful capture of a beautiful girl. The colors are perfect, so fabulously saturated... I really can't say enough about how great this shot is. I really think you'll get the blue, and if you don't, then you will have been ROBBED! :)

WOW. This picture has an impact with me. Great job. Among my favorites in the challenge.

beautifully shot, great intensity - 10

lighting is exelent, color is awesome, and over all a beautiful image (only thing that bothers me a bit is the eye on the left, maybe should have been completely covered?) but still my top pick...good luck 10

I love the contrast in this photo. Good sharpness on the eyes and the tight crop is very effective. Marked as favorite. 10

I like the DOF you used to really bring out the eyes while leaving other parts of the face a bit out of focus. Really draws you in. Wonderful use of color too. Great "National Geographic" type photo. Good job.

Absolutely stunning. Has to be a ribbon here. 10
