I never did make it through all the black and white entries. I somehow missed this. Beautiful work here. You captured something - innocence, beauty, simplicity. Crystal clear, well done!
She would have been visiting the shrine for the 7-5-3 celebration; that would mean she's seven years old. She's very elegant indeed. Nice study and well done on the top 20 finish.
This is a great photo for the scrapbook. Nice highlights and the slight tilt of the head is a nice accent. The only thing this is just a little (very little) bit distracting is the extra material that arises from behind her left shoulder. Excellent photo and one of the few 10's in the challenge. If it's not a top 20 entry in the challenge, I'll be surprised.
Such clarity to this picture that you can almost feel the texture of her hair and the softness of her skin. The very cute little expression on her face and tilt to her head adds all the interest needed to make this an exceptional photograph.
Absolutely stunning! This is what a B&W picture should look like. My first time to score a 10. I will be very surprised if this doesn't get a ribbon...most likely colored Blue!
