Shot in my neighbors yard. I had a really hard time choosing between this photo and another photo. Flipped a coin to decide.
This is my 4 year old daughter Nova. She's an amazing model, and very patient at that!

I absolutely love this photo. The subject is positioned perfectly and the slightly shallow focal depth draws attention directly to her eyes. Great job.
Nice use of leaves, and model. I wish the nearer leaves were in focus. The ladies eyes and red mouth are enough to draw the attention to them even with the rich oranges and yellows.
Looks like fun! :-) Love the tack sharpness on the face, especially the eyes, and then the shallow depth of field on the leaves. It all works quite nicely. Good luck in the challenge!
Great idea and well executed. The colors match pretty well, especially the lips and cheeks with some of the red tones. That the person is looking into the lens gives a feeling of connection, imho good.
This, to me, is what photography is all about. This image has everything I would want to capture had I taken this shot. The colors, focus, lighting, composition are all spectacular. I gave this a 10 and added it to my favorites as this is a shot that I could easliy see facing a photography magazine!
Vibrant, fun and quirky this is a lovely idea and beautifully done! I think I'd prefer it in landscape orientation with his face towards left of frame - he feels a bit cut off like this - but Iike it as it is too.
