You gotta be kiddin' me! Only eight years old? Wow!!!
Your title is most understandable since in the thumbnail she certainly looks eighteen.
Great High Key Lighting on an amazing photograph. I rate this a 10.
Get me her autograph right now since it will be beyond my budget in 10 years. :)

8 going on 18! Nice photo, nicely lit, captured, and presented. Composition is wonderful. Catching this particular expression on her face was a gift. Pretty girl. Hope it ribbons.

The eyes and shirt are so white that I would have whitened the model's teeth a little and toned down the shirts blown out whites. But this is my only nit. Everything else is great: pose, expression, composition. Very beautiful model. She seems to like modeling, too.

are her eyes really THAT white? seems a little over the top to me, but LOVE everything else about this 8

The first thing I noticed was the whites of her eyes, her teeth and her shirt. All well contrasted by the black background. I like the bits of flying hair too. The eyes seem a bit...strange or out of focus, can't put my finger on it, but nicely done overall.

Very nice natural looking portrait. She is very cute and the fan for the hair was a nice touch.

Lovely light, model and composition. Love to know your camera and lighting set up. My guess is you sell your portraits.10

Nice contrast, the wind is also a cool effect.

Just Turned Eight?!?!? Daddy, I feel sorry for you. This very beautiful man-killer is not only incredibly beautiful for her age, but also seems to know a little about modeling. Wonderful capture of the colors in her hari, and face. All of that against the black background make for a very outstanding image. Nice job with the fan to blow the hair and take this image a notch higher! <8>

Beautiful child. She has lovely eyes and hair. Nice lighting, but I think the white t-sirt has reflected a bit too much light back onto her face. Love the way her hair is blowing in the wind.

Hard to believe only 8...looks like a supermodel in the making!

Very nice natural photograph. Eyes are nice and bright as is the shirt against the black background. Good Luck in the Challenge!

Yes, this is a good one. Lighting is good and the pose works well.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Lovely. I love the playful look on her face and the blowing hair simply adds emphasis. Excellent lighting. Beautiful eyes with good sharpness on the eyes.

Good luck in the challenge!

Edit: This image made my top-10 list. GOOD LUCK!

P.S. If she's this cute at 8 ... you better have a shotgun ready for when she starts dating! :-)

nice shot. White blouse maybe a bit to bright, but you did good.

VERY GOOD! One of the best thus far in the challenge- fits a color portrait perfectly!

Nicely done! Beautiful young lady. You brought out her eyes and skin tone nicely in this picture. Good job.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Looks like you will have your hands full! It's probably more like 8 going on 21, huh? What a beauty!
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Very nice, bright cheerful girl. Nice choice for the white t-shirt on her, it goes well with the background and blonde hair. Like the motion in her hair and her head to one side. You might get some complaints that the eyes are whitened too much, but it isn't too bad.

Gorgeous, magazine cover looking photograph!!! I love the effect of the wind blowing -- especially without losing an ounce of sharpness! Beautiful job!!! 10

nice balance of contrast and colors....sharp

I like the coy expression. Her cocked head adds a cuteness. Her smile is adorable. I like her hair having the windblowh sense to it. I also like that you used a landscape layout. The black background is a nice backdrop to her face and the white tee shirt. Nice skin tones as well. Crystal clear eyes. Not too much post processing is evident. Upon 2nd review, I'm upping my score. Congrats on a nice capture!
