Love this. Lovely tones, amazing flower, and beautiful young girl with such an expression on her face. The title is perfect. I can't believe I'm the only one to favorite it.

Julia,

I didn't get to vote on this image but I feel it is an outstanding image. The compositional subjects have great placement, the light is very good, and this photograph has emotional impact. I think good photographs of people, like this one, are much more interesting than photogenic bugs any day. I would have scored this a 10. Congratulations on a wonderful photograph.

Bob

Something about this photograph strikes me more than any other in this competition. Probably because she has a natural expression that just fits this photo well. Great shot

I absolutely love this shot. I love the softness, the mood, the cropping. I love everything about it. My favorite of the challenge. 10!

Stunning expression on this face. I love the grainy, soft look to this photo--it makes for a nostalgic, warm, old fashioned feel that works marvelously. Super work here. 10!

This is one of my favorites of this challenge. I love the softness of this portrait and the juxtaposition of the blossom and the little girl. Beautiful :)

ooooh - I love desaturated photos (take a look at Zeisman's). This is a gorgeous portrait and I like the symbolizm too. I can't decide if I like the crowded feel or if I wish there was a tiny bit more room over her right eyebrow and under the flower's stamen. I think I do like the way you have cropped it - 9

Your colours are very nice. Just enough tint in the dress, her lips, and her skin that the white blossom doesn't bleach her out. Good work on the balance there!

I hope you got this same photo of just the girl because it is world class. Beautiful photo, perfect lighting, soft and muted. The big flower in front really takes away from the photo but I understand why you did it.

I like the young lady but the flower is too large. Maybe from a different veiw this would of worked better. Sorry I don't like the composition here.

I like the coloring on this one. It has a romantic feeling to it. Something strikes me as odd about the flower though. I almost think less flower, more girl would seem more "right" to me.
