This shot was taken at my children's school. I was asked to take photo's during the end of year Band Blast, where they had games, face painting, dunk tanks, etc. After about 3 hours I saw this little girl, who was obviously ready to go home. I thought I'd make the photo look more like a early color film photo.
Post Challenge: To all those who thought it was posed....it wasn't. I don't think I'd have someone standing right next to the person (jeans in picture) if I were going to pose them.

Three things that may help this to not score well. First it looks like a posed shot. Second it's soft focus (I like them but the voters like super sharp). Third your impressively large border...

This is a very good candid portrait. My oly nitpick is that her eyes look a little veiled, but this could easily be fixed with levels or curves. Conversely, exposure on hairs and jumper is very good.
