 Need more time, bad crop! Should have cropped the purple ribbon out on the bottom. This little girl is so pretty but this was her expression for every picture I took. This was one of the best as far as exposure and pastel colors so I went with it. The lighting may be a little off also. I had Mom hold the refector and I broke all the rule of lighting and went with what I thought looked right. Interested in what you all have to say:)

Very pretty. Nice job finding good light. Whatever was bouncing light back up into her face camera right was perfect. I realize that they are important in the context of the wedding, but the roses held so close under her chin distract from her beautiful face and seem too bright for the scene and too big relative to her face. 7 from me.

Beautiful. Finally a photo of a child where the skin hasn't been over processed. There is a lot going on with the flowers but you are still drawn to her eyes. Well done.

Good color and sharpness. Light is well done. The flowers on the model's head and in hand are a bit overpowering for the natural color of her skin.

Striking. I find the crop somewhat odd, but I am not sure why. 9.

Lovely eyes! Her eyes have the same color as the dress she is wearing. The lighting on her face is perfect as it has just enough shadow to define her features but no harsh shadows. I can see the shape of the reflector in her eyes. The only thing I could find for improvement is the hot spot on the flowers she is holding, but that is minor and doesn't grab the attention. Her skin is beautifully soft and perfect. A fabulous portrait!

Stunning lighting and overall image, but a smidge too deep for my interpretation of pastel. Her eyes are just about the prettiest I've seen!
