Hi Shannon,

This was a simply stunning shot, and has all the quality of a professional studio portrait. The mood & emotion is perfect.

Shame you didn't get a ribbon on this one, but I am sure it's a Blue Ribbon in your heart and best be hanging on your wall!

Well Done!

I enjoy your story about this shot. Wonderful picture. I gave it a 10 and will give you more than that after reading the photographer's comment.

What i like most about this shot is the fact that she was not looking at you.She looks more innocent, shy and delicate. That expression goes well with your subdued lighting. Congratulations. You should place higher than me.

Very nice. It's unfortunate about the blown out area on the shirt.

Nice composition. A little sharper focus and deeper colors would make it more eye catching IMHO.

I'm glad she didn't smile at you, this shot is much more emotive and perfect. She will treasure this one when she's older.

Congrats on your highest score yet!
