I love how you filled the frame with that beautiful hair! I love all the waves and curls. This is a very sweet photo.

When I was browsing through this challenge I came to your photo, paused for a second, and then fell in love with it. It's absolutely beautiful. I love how the hair nearly fills every corner. The corner it doesn't touch is your ground. Being the darkest part of your photo it gives the eye something to hold on to with all the craziness going on. While the pink cast of the hair seems a bit unnatural, it's melds well with the other colors in the photo.

Overall, there's almost a sense of mystery. You can't clearly see her eye, and that creates a natural intrigue. I find myself wanting to part her hair and touch what is obviously a baby soft rosy cheek. I would feel weird about hanging someone else's kid on my wall, but if this were my kid she'd be on a full sized canvas. I'd hang her in my entrance so everyone could see what a beautiful child I had and what a great photographer I was!

I gave this a 9. I underrated it.

Grace, kindness, and a lovely gentleness radiate from this. I'm glad you left it as it was, too. (Border is fine, by the way.)

Beautiful tones. My favorite part which makes it a standout is just how you can just get a peek of the eye.

7 - Had to look close to see if I was looking at a doll - like the rosey cheeks. Nice colors, nice image, different.

terrific energy from all those lines, like a Pollock painting.

A cool different kind of kid shot. Love that swirling hair and the little hint of face underneath. 7
