The model was a 12 years old girl. They do start very early with the practice.

Colors are striking and beautiful, the background is good and not distracting. I notice the lips are the most in focus, was that intentional? It's very nice. I seem to be drawn to them much more than her eyes (as is usually the case, at least for me). Very good. 8
