7 - Very good. Looks like a familiar shot but likely just the 'tabby effect'. Criticism; the cropped ear(s) are noticeable, but this also works as is in my opinion, maybe some 'fine tuning' with it (zoomed/cropped tighter or ears included (depending what you had to work with obviously)), may have made this better in my opinion. Like the vivid color in the eyes and the seemingly horizontal 'patterned reflection' adds an off-setting element to this too. Nice focus on the brow and eyes, like the whiskers' contrast, difficult but with the nose and whiskers even sharper may have made this even better - but likely difficult to get 'it all' in good focus so not sure. Background blue is nice and enhances those eyes.

I wish this had done better in the challenge. The composition here is very well done. The basically black background is perfect for your main subject - really lets it stand out. I really like the contrast with the lit building - gives it a great balance. Very nice shot and very well done!

Greetings from the Critique Club:

This was your entry into the 'Delicate' challenge and appears to meet the brief for the challenge. As there is no information on settings and processing, I cannot comment accurately on how you got this photo to entry level without a certain amount of guesswork.
I am going to start with critical issues, there is a colour cast on the left cheek and jaw of your subject. I was going to say that the focus appears slightly soft, but judging by the eyebrows, there are signs of the image being sharpened. This suggests that the original was out of focus and sharpening rescued it but still left it soft. There is noticeable grain and I assume you used on camera flash which has lifted the exposure on the nose and round the mouth. Faces are really hard to light, and almost impossible using on camera flash.
Okay, now it's time to be kinder, the tight crop works very well as does the wispy hair. The subject looking down conveys innocence and as a childs skin is usually soft looking, it does give that delicate impression.

Overall it is a good portrait that captures what childhood is all about. The score is about where I would have placed the photo and I note that other commentors state a softness in focus. I hope this is helpful and constructive.

Steve

I like the expression on her face, yet there is something off about the focus or sharpness.

A pity of the color cast on the girl's right cheek/jaw line.
