Frankly, if this was my little girl, I would be more than hoppy for her to keep the toad.....

This is agreat idea and a lovely pic. I love the softness of the little girl. Beautifully done. IMO the background steals some of the potential away from the pic. It's dull and the tree is distracting. Maybe a deeply saturated green backgound?...maybe even next to a little pond would have added a little something to the "fairy tale" feel. Still very nicely done and so I'm bumping you to 8.

Nice use of the soft focus--it gives a nice feel. The blue eyes may be a little too saturated.

Luckily, the title made me look closer to see that she's kissing a frog. But I almost missed it entirely, and just saw a cute girl dressed like a princess. Normally I don't like titles to tell me the story; I prefer that in the image.

But the rest of the image is so nice - the contrast between her coloring and that of her dress against the brown background, her expression, her gorgeous eyes ... and I like the soft focus.

Compositionally, the large empty space on the left doesn't do much for me.

With a tighter crop and maybe her hand lower so I could really see the frog, I would've voted higher. Still, I'm voting it a 6.

Fun shot. I like the soft illusion to it. Give the girl an oversized frog. =) One that would stand out more in the picture. That would give some "magic" to the picture.

Have her looking at the frog with anticipation and hope. Her looking up (to whatever it is she sees), doesn't quite make her WISH come true.

i really like this, though my only wish is that we were a bit closer to the action regarding the kissing the amphibian bit. the fact that the kid is looking up makes me feel that you could almost dispense with the lower third of the image, and maybe crop the top centimeter, making it more panoramic / film like possibly? the colours are so rich; i love the autumnal colours with the diffused glow of the backgrounds... it's really a marvellous picture, funny, cute, and mystical too. 10.
