 She had a ball. Through all the photo session she never said a word. But, oh... all those expressions. I couldn't make up my mind which one to use as she is so sweet. She's not my daughter, but I wish she was.

I love the contrast between the clothing and the shoes. That's the real charm of childhood.

Good expression and cropping. From a portrait standpoint the positioning of her feet is almost disturbing, looks like one is broke(I know it isn't). I am sure this was just a, capture as you go and she goes kind of photo shoot, so you probably weren't posing her, so it is understandable.

Trust me I know what it is like photographing children, but I find the foot distracting. Really Im jealous - I wish my body was that limber - I'd be off the the hospital. Could it be improved with more fill light in the face and eyes and a lower point of view and larger aperature.

enchanting image and wonderful feet..the expression is good as well...the precursor to grace as we think of it but holding it all right there in the upper body 8

sweet picture, but lacks luster. could use more contrast/brightness. also saturation may help to bring out the colors more, esp the grass.

If Grace was a child, this would be her portrait. Well done.

My daughter loves twirling in her pretty dress too. The position of the feet hair, and dress shows that's what she's doing, and you've frozen her motion at the perfect instant. The grass makes a nice background. Great soft focus.

Needs a faster shutter speed to get rid of the blur. Or make better use of the blur by using a slower shutter to catch the twirl motion a bit better.

Adorable!!! 10 :)

She's a cutie. Looks like you caught her while she was toddling around. I like the naturalness you have here. You might have had a perfect 10 had you had her posed sitting like a little princess but still very worth an 8 for cuteness.

The fancy dress with the dirty sneakers.... a great composition. And it fits the challenge perfectly. Her expression is precious.

Very cute, well seen and nice title too. What I like here is that it looks very natural, as this little girl has been catched in movement (blurred hair curl and hands). Very attractive snapshot and , indeed, very gracious.

Not an ugly duckling, she's a cutie. Feet look a little awkward though *laugh*
