The black-and-white suggestion is rational, but I personally think the pastel feel is more effective.

Overall a simple but enticing capture.

Love the reflection of her tiara in the window.

Lovely photo and overall feeling, good composition and lighting. While I'd prefer to see a little more face, there is just enough eye to satisfy. I love it, and hope that it does well.

good oxymoron, although it took me a minute to link with the shot (100% chance of rain). A B&W treatment may have been good here. composition is good. lighting is tough. You want some drab, I guess, to emphasize the emotion the rain is causing, but you don't want so much that the picture isn't nice to look at. 6

Very nice. I might suggest a little more reflected light on "her" to draw out the detail and color of her skin tones. 9

Is that 100% of rain?
Maybe not completely clear, but it's a wonderful photo, hauntingly beautiful, well done.

I'm having trouble understanding the oxymoron in the image. The image itself is nice enough though. I like the subtle tones and sombre mood. Good luck with the challenge.

Good choice of oxymoron for the image, or vice-versa. :) I like the image for it's simple message. Hoping you don't get dinged too badly for lighting. I know the lighting is basically window light that is available and it suits the image, but I think you're going to be getting some feedback on it being too dark. JMO of course. Good luck in the challenge.

Poor little princess. Nice capture of rainy day emotions and soft reflection.
