This is absolutely gorgeous - technically superb, but the photos real strength lies in the essence of the child that you have captured so wonderfully.

I love the centered composition of this shot. How everything unnecessary is cut off, leaving only an adorable child. The focus seems right on, which really makes her hair stand out too. If I could make one suggestion, it would be to work on the area around the eyes a bit more. You'd be amazed what just a bit of dodging would do to brighten up that area and make the overall photo that much better. I also do two curves layers for the eyes in a portrait too. For the first one, I select the entire eye, feather the selection 3-10 pixels, depending on the resolution of the photo and size of the eye, and then bring the whole curve up in the middle quite a bit. Then, I select just the iris, feather 1-3 pixels, and do a slight "s" curve, darkening the pupil and increasing contrast in the iris. Just a thought. Other than that, very, very nice work.

Outstanding portrait.
I love the lighting, the framing, and especially the dimple in the chin, and not to mention the smoky eyelashes.

Wonderful fill the frame portrait! The smile on the this little girl is brought out front row and center with this close crop facial portrait. She smiles and stares back at us and we, the viewer's, can't help but to smile back. This is a wonderfully expressive photo that really draws us in. Details, lighting, tones and contrasts are all picture perfect in this composition. Excellent job!

Ohmy GOSH Mia! This is incredible! I LOVE this type of photography! It reminds me of Lesley Goodman or GSAL's work! Who IS this beautiful little girl! I'm going to see if somewhere you've posted a story on her! Maybe on another photo of her?

This is perfect. Emotive. Beautifully processed. And a new favorite to add to my collection!

Fantastic. Love the tight crop and use of the maximum 800 pixels. Really a wonderful portrait. The exposure, lighting and detail are flawlessly done.

Wow - what a cute model and how well you have captured her! The details in her braids are fantastic, and the way they spill off to one side really makes for a strong composition. Very well done.

This is the reason I should stick to shooting things and not doing portraits. Wonderful, great expression, tonal range and lighting are great, as is the clarity. Really nice.

I bow down to the portrait master! Great tones, and yes, this does look like a Goodman! I think I need to retire! ;)

Absolutely wonderful pertrait here, and the tones are just perfect.....
It looks like a Goodman and that a compliment, as I love her work.

I love this one, and can't find any faults in it at all, and therefore adding it to my favorites righy now.....
