 Decided to enter this challenge since I haven't been around DPC for quite some time. Shot this at a wedding last year.

Great natural lighting, the hair in the face is a little distracting but you're working with a really lovely model there :)

Very pretty little princess! I would have liked it even more if the hair wasn't in her face.

nice capture but the background is a little distracting

This is a pretty little girl showing off her outfit. I'll bet she'd rather be in jeans and t-shirt though. Cute princess.

cutesy, but I wish a girl of her age were dressed like a child of her age and not like a mini-adult.

what a pretty little girl...a very good candid shot...here are my overly picky things....clasp of necklace in front..facing on the bodice of the dress is hanging out...otherwise a very lovely shot...

Pretty girl, and her expression is priceless.

Don't assume that because you have an affinity for your subject, the rest of the world will too. Otherwise, there's a lot to like here ... lighting, detail, clarity ... even the vignette works to a degree.

beautiful- wish the pov was just a bit lower, background is a little distracting
  Photographer found comment helpful.

cute
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/15/2009 03:09:11 PM
a bit overexposed on the highlights imo
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/15/2009 02:27:10 PM
Fun shot. Little uncomfortable cropping just the top of her hair, though.

The title says it all......

Nice focus and detail on her face, very good job in the post processing.

Isn't she a cutie? Very nice shot - not sure the hair straggle adds to the shot.

Nice portrait. I think I would have worked to bring those catch lights in her eyes up a bit more.

Absolutely charming portraiture!

What a coy and delightful smile!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 11:50:11 AM
Great smile! I realy like focus on her face. Background is a little distracting and the light on the showlder looks a bit too hot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 11:27:37 AM
Sorry, she's cute, but this shot just doesn't feel very interesting to me..

A nice portrait that definitely speaks of the subject

 03/12/2009 09:39:27 PM
Maybe without the stray strand of hair....????? Nice subject all the same.

beautiful portrait, nice lighting
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 12:18:11 PM
A case where vignetting adds to the shot I like how it pops the subject, who is adorable. Would have preferred less hair across her face (makes me want to sweep it away), but there is nice detail throughout the shot, and the vignetting does much to eliminate the distracting legs in the back.

She is sweet. Nice lighting and detail.

Such a pretty girl - she's going to love her lips when she grows up! I hope she's special to you because I feel an emotional connection in this image.

Lighting and exposure also seem to be pretty good.

Beautiful portrait, but I think the princess might be tired of the camera. LOL Beautiful lil lady.

 03/11/2009 07:00:12 PM
The light is a bit harsh but the grain adds something good to this
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 03:12:31 PM
This is really cute. She looks to me to have a mischevious gleam in her eye.
