I stayed home with my daughter as she was not feeling well...she is sitting in the sunlight that comes from the window above the front door.

When I feel low, and I mean really low, this is exactly what I feel like. Notice the square spotlight and how it is reflected on both the x and y axis. All three dimensions have a darkness with a square hole in it. All three dimensions are isolated from each other.
The floor is aware of her presence, hints of a shadow/reflection, but she is not aware that the floor is aware. There is a sense here that sorrow, like everything else, has an ending.
A very good emotional portrait. The composition works very well with the leading lines pointing to the main subject. Great lighting and post processing.
Beautiful shot. The use of light and shadows highlights the subject perfectly and creates a definite mood. The detail and focus is excellent...... nice work 9
The color and facial expression really make you feel her pain. Excellent compositon. The lines of the wall and floor draw you right into the subject. Good Luck
what a beautiful photograph.composition is excellent ,those 3 areas of light contain some beautiful details and create a vivid contrast with the shadows.10 and a favourite.
Good use of toning here. I like the expression on the little girl's face. My nephew appears to be about the same age. I always try to piss him off just to get some interesting facial contortions ;-) Nice work!!
Very emotive photo, even though - because of the look/feel/mood of the photo - I would have expected more of a look of fear or anger, rather than a pout.
Nicely done. 8
Really well done. I can see this on the cover of a novel. The lighting in combination with the composure and leading line just sends your eye right to the subject. The subtle variations of shadow really help create the title's mood. Bravo. 9

Overall Calculated Average Score: 9, Very sad indeed. Makes me wonder why though, and leaves a bad feeling. Excellent picture however.
