Lovely portrait! I liked it very much! But, as Bluelemur said, the white clothes are overexposed. Not really a big problem for this fantastic shot!
Congratulations |

hi Jaxed,
I love this photograph. To me, the softening *works* -- when I first looked at the photo, I was amazed at how smooth and soft and flowing her hair, face skin were! I love the effect here -- it's fantastic. My eyes kept coming back to her hair, her face, her skin; to me, that's one sign that a photograph is good -- you want to keep looking and looking. She's a lovely girl, and you captured natural light on her face in a very attractive way.
My only suggestion would be to be careful when shooting white clothing on kids/people, b/c they often tend to "flouresce" and look blue-ish or over-whited in a finished digital shot. For me, anyway, it's really hard to get white clothes to look best in a digital picture. Sometimes I deliberately ask people to change, just b/c it's so hard to get the white clothes to look their best when the face/skin look THEIR best.
But that aside, I still love this picture. I'm new to this forum, hopefully will register soon, and I really look forward to seeing more of your work. Thanks for sharing this photo! :)

Thanks for the encouragement! I'm flattered that Tinmason thinks I know so much about editing. I still have my training wheels on as far as computers are concerned. My original picture was sent in during voting and validated by the site council, surely it would have been disqualified if I had photo chopped.
Tinmason,
Thank you for your opinion and the 7, I consider it a compliment:)

| I didn't see this until today. It is just beautiful, capturing her in a thoughful moment. The background just enhances the skin and hair tones. I enjoyed your comments about the parameters in the camera as I have that camera and lens. We can always learn something, with photography it can be like an epiphany. |

| And it's obvious to me that (shaunjchang) you also do not know what you're talking about. Let's see...doesn't own a camera...never done a lick of photo editing in their life. You want to judge my skills...here it is: in addition to the twelve years of photo editing, I also spent eight years repairing cameras as well as working behind them...you go take some art classes...you go take some photography classes and after you have removed your head from where it's not supposed to be...then you can come tell me that I don't know what I'm talking about...Jaxed I do apologize I fotgot to congratulate you on nice image...However, I still stand by my opinion and my rating of a seven...which is what you averaged in the voting. |

| Never said I was a photographer...good bad or otherwise...but I am a damn good photo editor and IMO if you want this type of thing then throw out the basic editing rules and the advanced editing rules and let the photographer decide what an image needs in the way of photo editing and then judge that.I thought I lived in America where an Artist is not restricted by other peoples ideas of what should be allowed because it gives them a safe, warm, and fuzzy feeling when they go to bed at night...buy a camera, take some photos and then try some photo editing. You might learn something and then be able to give an honest opion of someone else's skills. |

This picture is remarkable. I have no idea what tinmason means by well beyond basic photo editing. I wonder if tinmason has ever actually just taken a good photograph. After 12 years of "photo chopping" I guess there would be no need for talent, just computer skills. I don't see anything more than a small amount of softening. Other than that Kudos Jaxed!! Great talent in just the basic photo. It actually shows that you know how to compose a good photo shoot, without having to fall back on Photoshop just to make the photo pleasing. "IMO" there is art and then there is color by numbers. This is Art, this is talent.

In addition, I deducted points for lack of originality...I have seen an almost duplicate of this image in a previous challenge...it was also a first place winner which IMO also did not deserve a blue ribbon.

| This is a gift that just keeps on giving! The colours are gorgeous, the composition stunning - there's so much to look at and yet none of it competes with or distracts from the rest. The girl looks perfect for this sort of shot, and the focus is great with just the right amount of softness. I didn't vote on this challenge but I hope I would have had the sense to give this a 10 like 41 other voters did. The other voters clearly don't know one end of the camera from the other! (just kidding about the last bit) Seriously though, this is a great photo by any measure, tells a great story. |

Oh and you can kick me for introducing her to this place ... I know I am. **Mumble mumble...Blue ribbon on 3rd entry... mumble, must throw my camera away now.. mumble**
