 I don't really care for the crop or composition on this, but she was sitting on my lap and this expression was the absolute best. I'm just hoping for at least a 6.0.

dodge/burn hair, earring, eyes & lips

Really lovely, delicate portrait, Ken. The earring is a great touch. I didn't vote in the challenge but surely this would have gotten a high score from me. Glad you got your 6+!
