I should have added, I like the way her sweater blends in with the background at the bottom of the frame. You obviously could have seperated the two more, by that I mean the picture shows you have the skills to do so, but I like your choice of blending. |

A facinating picture, perfectly executed. I love this. The matching shades of white in hat, sweater and gloves is perfect. Brings out the color and tones of her face, and especially her eyes. |

Time to kill? Looks like you took alot of time to plan this out(in a studio). Being that it is such a nice and detailed shot. I guess sometimes the stars just line up perfectly like you want them to. As well as your talent and a lovely niece. Great work! |

I have to admit that I keep coming back to look at this shot -- it's super deserving of the blue! I can almost hear a Christmas carol being sung when I look at it -- it just feels like at any moment, the background will be filled with Dickens characters, or something :) |

The thing I loved about this was the way the eyes matched the ornament. That and it's simply an exquisite and well-done portrait - the softness is just right for this. Congrats on the blue! Now print this up nice and big and give it to your niece. |

There's really so much to like about this image! Love the handling of the light such that the texture of the white fabrics is "there" and distinct from the background. The color of the ornament helps draw attention to those lovely eyes. The skin tones are subtle and beautifully rendered. This is not just another "family photo"...it makes me want to know this child...it is as if I have just asked her a question and she is about to give me the answer. Soft and pretty! The gloves are too large for her hands, I feel, but with everything else going for it, that can be "excused" because all other intentions are so well met. Well done! |
