Thank you for submitting your photo to the People II DPChallenge.
Great job capturing your young subject. She looks very comfortable posing and appears mature beyond her age. It also looks like she has pose for photos before. She looks calm and confident.
The soft effect works in a limited way. There is too much softness in the facial area. Her left eye has too much soft process done. So it creates an immediate distraction. It also gives the image an uneven appearance. The shirt area has little or no soft effect applied. There is also some "pixelization" on the upper right corner as well as in the lower left corner of the frame. Also sometimes when you crop a photo closeup, you can see the photographer image in the subjects eyes, as in this case. This can be avoided by using a tripod and zooming in from a longer distance.
Overall a very nice photo of a young lady in her early childhood. Its a permanent familial keeper.
Good luck in your future DPChallenges.
Overall a great shot of a young lady. Less softness and watch those "orphan pixels". |

| Looks like you were going for a soft-focus, but it seems too soft on her face as compared to her shirt, which is distracting. I'd try a solid colour shirt and a little more light. |

| It's a good portrait composition and she looks like a natural in front of the camera. The diffuse glow/soft focus effect is used a lot and I can see why it is appealing, however, the eyes usually suffer with this technique. You could try attempting the effect on a new layer and once you have it looking like you want it use the eraser tool around the eyes and the mouth to bring back some of the sharpness while leaving the skin soft and glowing. |

| Intentionally soft, but too soft IMO for this challenge. Good portrait.. |

| I like the soft focus on this Portrait. If the top of her head wasn't cropped off I think the whole picture would look more complete. |

| in smoothing the pic you lost too much detail... eg her hair. |

| Very beautify girl and I like the fact that she wasn’t make to smile and show the teeth, I think a photo like this is so much better with a more natural facial expression. About the soft feel in the photo, (if it was done in Photoshop) I would have used the history bush to bring back some of the face. I personally just fine the face a little too soft. Still great work! |

| I don't think you need such soft focus on a person this young with perfect skin and no wrinkles. |

| She is cute. However, this photo is so soft that takes away from how cute she is. Little cuties like this don't need all of the post-processing. 5 |

| I think you will get knocked down because of the soft focus but I really like it and think it works well here...what I don't like is the beautiful muted background and the funky striped shirt...7 |

| Good use of soft focus, but I think that some of the shirt is slightly overexposed |

| too much blur. It works well on older faces, but this child is still smooth and silky w/out extra help. Nice pose, try to get the eyes sharper. |

| People may tell you that the soft focus is too much, but I think it's excellent here. Great choice for this subject- she's got an absolutely angelic face. 10. |
