This is a wonderful candid, Bud. Those big eyes look so sad.

face is wonderful, the expression is wonderfull .. imo I think there's more space than needed above and to the right.

I actually kind of like the blurred hand - it adds another touch of life to the shot. Mesmerizing eyes - the hand keeps it from being too static, I think. What I would suggest, though, is cloning out the design on the shirt if you can.

Love the eyes!!!!! Good tonal ranges for that austere look that complements the situation.

Great expression and beautiful dark eyes, the hand doesn't bother at all, well done.

The face is perfect, the eyes especially.

Excellent Portrait in Photojournalism style! The hand movement actually underscores the fleeting nature of childhood! Great Job! :)

I second Pawdrix's comment. The motion blur of the hand doesn't detract from this portrait at all. You have done a fabulous job capturing this little girl. Wonderful eyes.

"candid portrait The blurred hand is a bit distracting, but I love the face"

Images do NOT need to be sharp unless the importance is in the detail. Stock shots...product shots....fine but outside of that, detail is in itself a distraction. I like the motion. Outside of DPC nobody would be bothered in the slightest by that...unless they have ADD.

USM is Unsharpened Mask, which is the sharpening tool in Photoshop.

My! What eyes and expression... Beautifully framed by her hair...

What is USM?
