My goal with this one was to score a 5.5 with a "out of the box" postcard submittal. I was thinking that not all postcards are vacations or happy scenes. Some may be travelling for other reasons such as serving our military overseas or a work trip away from home. Either way this would represent that type of postcard. This pic says to me that a daughter misses her Dad while he is away and Mom bought the postcard and sent it to Dad wherever he may be.
Thanks for comments and votes. |

| Love the photo but wouldn't chose this for a postcard. She looks like she's distracted or frustrated. |

This is a great portrait shot, but definitely doesn't have postcard type appeal.
As a portrait I think you've done a great job here, the focus is great, and I think you have the DOF just right. The lighting, especially the darker background is well done.
I am however only giving this a 5, and that's because I'm basing my voting for this challenge on how likely I would be to buy this as a postcard. It would be lower if it wasn't such a great shot otherwise. |

| Very baeutiful portrait. The eyes look amazing with the reflections in them. That being said, "Where is here?" Doesn't really say postcard to me. |

| Very nice image and the complimentary font and color are perfect. A very different concept than the submissions so far - out of the box thinking and the author has done a great job conveying the impression of longing. Well done. |

| Wishing you were where? To me this is really not a post card but more of a type of greeting card. The child is cute tho. |
