Kris again... She's graduating from high school on May 29 as a member of the National Honor Society (yellow/orange sash) and the National Art Honor Society (colored ropes). We were taking some nice shots in the back yard in her cap and gown and she went goofy on me. Today was the Baccalaureate ceremony.

I wish the ends of the tassles were a little sharper, but this was basically a candid. She held them up and made the face as I was shooting.

Fun portrait, and the colors really stand out, but it looks like you had trouble with the pp (the orange at lower right). :-(

I bet you could kick yourself for the easy mistake you've made on this, I've made similar errors in the past, rushing to enter them in time. This is a lovely photo and my score reflects this

The colours are nice but a little too close to the all important eyes and I think I would have preferred more of a smile than this rather confusing expression. Good luck

If her expression was toned down a little, this would be a FANTASTIC shot! Great subject for the challenge!

Very cool photo...one that should be enlarged and given as a gift to the Graduate! *8*

Would have been even better if her hands and tasslels were cut off at the top and bottom. Love it though.
