The eyes look, well, weird. I would have liked to see her looking at the camera.

Beautiful model and excellent lighting. The image pops nicely. my omly criticism may be that it seems a little too sharpened - of course this is what gives it the pop..

crop should be tighter. lots of wasted space here

There is something very joyful about this portrait. I feel this kind of thing in Ursula's portraits. For example:


The way it is taken clearly indicates that it is taken by experienced hands. I like everything about it. Everything is well balanced.

Pretty girl - but I don't like the makeup/ processing on her face. It seems too grown up for a little girl

don't like the vignette ... unbalanced

Beautiful girl. I think I would like this better with a much tighter crop.

I bet she was thrilled to pose for you. She has that ham look about her. nice contrast

The way you processed the skin and eyes creeps me out to be blunt. The skin looks like plastic and the eyes almost glow. No offense.
01/10/2007 09:38:51 AM
Would have liked to have seen more of the eyes.

kids don't need this much retouching!!! They have beautiful skin. This little one looks fake! That is not always a good thing. If you knew you were going to retouch this much I would have changed the wardrobe, it does not fit the doll skin look. She should look like a kid not plastic! Now that I am done having a fit, the facial expression is very nice and the hair is pretty. I don't love the framing, but it is not bad. 6

I don't like the black corners on the left.

Should be "portrait of a pretty girl". Very nicely done. I like how the background surrounds and frames her with light. It draws the eye right into the center of the image. Love her expression and the lighting on her face. Very nice b&w treatment too.
