Hi! I thought this was such a cute portrait when I first saw it and still do! What a lovely young lady. I like the composition of the shot and the colors are wonderful.
But, as you've heard, most did not consider it a "Studio" portrait because it was taken outside, not the normal studio enviornment, though I myself think that anywhere can be a studio!
I like the idea of the soft focus on the dress and such but would have left her eyes sharper, maybe used the selecting tool and sharpen just them or erase the level of soft focus on the eyes so they would really come through, she has beautiful eyes.
To have made if fit this challenge more the crop could have been tighter, taking out a lot of the playground area, focusing on the head and shoulders and then people might have wondered if it was a backdrop or an outside shot.
But again, a lovely portrait, something your little sister will love for a long, long time.
I hope my comments help and good luck in future challenges.
was a reflector used? well it does appears tat way, either by chance or not :)
I like the way she glows. good photo, but could be improved with a better cropping, probably.
I like the pose as well as the oversaturated colors, but I wish this were taken in more of a "studio-like environment" as required in the challenge description.
