This picture was taken at a studio in downtown Portland OR. It was originally for a Candy challenge on www.deviantart.com, but I loved it so much I had to submit it here on DPC too! Thx for all the votes!!!

editing: Dodge tool, crop, and levels...

Thanks you guyz! I love positive feedback that will help me in the future. I now see many technical errors with the photo.

This is really a great moment. I think it might have been stronger if you had cropped it so that she was not centered in the frame, though.

You've curiously left too much white spce behind her, shunting the action of the scene to the corner of the frame. Your angle also means part of her face is unnecessarily blocked in this case. Shooting from a higher angle, and making sure your framing allows us to see as much of the action of the shot as possible would have improved this.

there are some mistakes in this image for my taste, which is unfortunate because lighting and subject are good. The too distracting mistakes for me are the shadow to the left, which would have been easily erased in PP, and the fact that the right hand covers part of the face.

Nice shot but obscuring her face lets it down a little

A closer crop would help to focus in on her face more. You could crop more of the bottom and left.

beautiful except that if the little girl had held her hand down a fraction and we could see see her whole face, I would have scored higher

The shadow on the left perhaps could have been avoided with additional backdrop light or positioning a little futher away. Having the hand a tad lower would allow us to see the rest of her face, which is a shame to hide with such a cute subject.
