It is your model's expression that carries this beyond the chocolate box. (Loved the notes).
ETA: Details and lighting just the right degree.

| I've only just started voting but missed this Challenge. But in looking at this challenge this shot immediately grabbed me. I, too, wondered how the "posed" aspect would hit with the folks here. For me, posed is just swell. I am really delighted this one got the blue! It is such a beautiful compostion and image. |

I don't know the story (i hope to get to know of it soon), but I do like the picture! It was interesting to read your description.
Congrats on the wonderful shot, set-up, and the subsequent blue!
Happy New Year!

| The little match girl is a story that has moved me for many years. I didn't get to vote in this challenge, but I am very glad this won. It is a beautiful setup and compliments the story well. I would have never guessed her face was lit by a flashlight. Well done. |

| I think the expression on the girl really makes this shot jump up beyond the others. Not technically perfect, but far surpassed in raw emotion and sense of presence. It is a wonderful change for front page images. |

I'm not sure why I didn't comment during voting, but this photo got a 9 from me. Excellent job and very deserving of a win! Keep up the good work.
Oh! and I am not a fan of frames but this one happens to be particularly well suited. |

WOW! This is a museum piece! CONGRATULATIONS on perfection in a them that is tough to get technical perfection.
P.S. I just read how you got the shot, and I am even more in awe. Your creativity is brilliant, and I think the sensitivity to set-up shots is only when it is executed so flawlessly that it doesn't LOOK all that set-up. You NAILED it! Congratulations again!

| (No vote) Well done Caroline, looks beautiful. I love the warm tones reflected on Lily's chin - she really looks cold out there (which is an accomplishment because it was probably 30 degrees celcius!). |

Great work, although it is bordering on being a little too 'staged' IMO (but that is being very harsh)
