 I don't know how this will go over. I chose the negative space to the left rather than the right and I know that kinda breaks a "rule" ; )
I can't help it, it just looks better to me....
btw, I left the ISO on 800 by mistake.

Haunting scared blue eyes always a draw, contrasted with chestnut hair and round cherubic face. This works because little ones are always a bit coy.

Always break rules with photography. If we all followed the rules, all our photos would be the same!!! Be a rebel!! Great job!

Rules are meant to be broken, and this worked very well. You have such a knack at capturing complete emotion from these kiddos. Lovely.

a bit too much processing for my taste, especially in the eyes.

It's really interesting what you've done with her eyes, but I have to admit they freak me out a little lol

Eyes say everything

This is a style of processing that I tend to rather dislike - it seems to me that the subject of the portrait becomes little more than the eyes, at the expense of the overall feel for the person as a whole.

Really like the shot. The eyes really pop at you. You can almost see what looks like a horizon in her eyes. Sharpness and clarity are right on. Composition works well. Nice work.

the eyes are just a bit overdone for her face

Love the eyes and how sharp it is, This could be painting with the colors and the clarity of the image. Also very dreamy like. Great job

Has a certain amount of Mona-Lisa'ish intrigue... is she curious? focussed? Beautiful eyes indeed. Nice crop.

Not sure if that was the look you were going for but those are some scary eyes. Over-processed IMO. BUT if that's what you were going for, then cool. 5 from me.
