Nice high-key photo, one of better high-key ones I've seen on this site. Love the shallow DOF, and careful choice of matching wardrobe (matches her eyes wonderfully.)

And yeah, Martin, you "way too overexposed" again :-) maybe you should check your MkII metering, LOL

Outstanding post process work. Those eyes are piercing through an otherwise soft picture. Excellent.

Its great to see a High key effect used to enhance the image and compliment it so well. Congratulations on a beautiful image.

Like the high key approach you've taken here. I think playing here a little more the the right would help your composition though.

beautiful subject..i feel that the light has been pushed a little too much as not much detail is left on the face

Excellent use of high key and selective desaturation. Fantastic portrait - I wish I could take them like this! How did you light and post process it?

This is my favorite child portrait of the challenge. The soft tones are just right...love how the blue in her clothes highlights her eyes.

Nice high key treatment, really works well here.

I like this effect, but I think it is a bit too washed out. You've lost her nose. Also, I think it would be interesting to see the color that remains saturated a bit more. Lovely girl, nice comp, this really accentuates her lovely eyes and bow shaped mouth. I think that is why the missing nose is bothering me. Still, beautiful shot.
