 My daughter loves this old princess costume that she now calls her ballerina dress. It barely fits her, but she doesn't care.
The lighting is sunlight from late in the afternoon.

Initial thoughts
She has the most beautiful eyes, I love the lighting!

Composition
Though I love the composition of this shot, to me it doesn't tell me 'future prima donna'.........I don't get the feeling of a dancer, or of her love of that dress. However, I do get the feeling of the loving bond between you.

Camera work/technical
Superb lighting, tones, focus. Lovely work!!!

Digital processing
You have done a beautiful job with this shot.

Fits the challenge
The image itself fits the challenge, though with the title you gave it there is a feeling of it not fitting. If you'd shown her dancing I think this would have scored a lot higher.

Personal opinion
This is a very beautiful shot of an adorable little girl. I look forward to seeing more of your work.

regards
sue

Very nice tones. I think the lighting was a bit harsh, but you handled it well. Lovely eyes. Very nice focus. It would be fun to apply some of the more advanced editing rules to the image.

this is a beautiful picture of your daughter but it doesn't seem like it portrays love.

Very beautiful portrait. Was she dancing? I think this would be a bit stronger if she looks like shes dancing and loving it, to add some love to the photograph.
