Beautiful portrait!

If you have the skills, I think it would be worth blending that green weed in the background into the colors of the rest of the foliage. I'd also like to see the colors in the sweater desaturated a bit. I think that would really make her face stand out.

LOVE the name Isla too. :)

Nice, - but a little too pink, at least on my monitor.

Very nice with the hair touched by the wind. The green at the back is a bit distracting but other than that, it is a very good portrait.

She looks like a fairy that belongs into this meadow. Gorgeous natural portrait. The only tiny picky thing I would have removed are the grasses directly in front of her.

Great shot, might of crop the left side a little more or centered the model more, but over all well done. This should do well I would think.

lovely. the background is out of the dof enough to not become part of her, yet gives texture and color. she is a doll, and I love the "free" mood of the whole image.

beautiful. i love the solitary green bush in the background and the way it ties her sweater in with the background. It'll look great on your wall :)

The look on her face is captured so well and complemented by the colors and the lighting, the wind in her hair. Very nice photograph. - 9

Nice composition and DOF. The red cheeks seem a little odd, but it was probably one of those cold blustery days when we are anticipating Spring.

What a sweetheart. Beautiful capture. The colors in her sweater certainly set her off. BOL

very cute. her colorful sweater pops out nicely against the muted background and her blowing hair and nice smile adds a sense of playfulness to the shot

One of my top two for this challenge. Love the pose, love the background & soft light. I like how the green in the sweater is echoed in just the spot of foliage in the background. I found myself wishing for just a touch more contrast, & possibly a bit of desaturation of the red in her cheeks (but not much!). Very nice work, good luck.

This just screams "Spring is here." I just love it. A wonderful subject, great composition, wonderful natural lighting, great rosey cheeks -- I think you're going to take home a ribbon on this one. Good luck!

Very nice natural portrait. Love the colors especially the little glow in her cheeks. Very nice!

Great Colors and DOF. The only thing that distracts me is the hair in front of the model's right eye. Good job.

Wonderful, natural pose with great color. Her skin tone is awesome. Beautiful girl.

cute kid, nice seamless background, solid portrait. Might have tried to notice the green patch and maybe hide it behind her head or move slightly to exclude it. Otherwise a solid, non-intrusive background that works well.

Nice colors.

Lovely apple cheeks and smile, deligtfully captured. The hair blowing in the wind adds a nice touch of movement. Maybe a crop to reduce the space on the left while retaing the assymetry would work too?

cute, but there's not much contrast between her and the background... similar palette and tones don't make her pop out of the frame.

Nice shot. Rosy cheeks :)

the coloring is nice and focus is right on...i maybe would have cropped a little tighter in on the right side and lost some of that dead space
