The essentials of odriew (light, toning, captivating model) with that special touch of Clive's gorgeous gal. Those eyes... she's got those killer eyes. Excellent DOF. That wee bit of window-shaped light beyond is the perfect balance.
I like the atmosphere and the processing, but the top left part of the background seems distracting. I get the feeling that what lay to the right of the little girl might have worked better?
Splendid capture....absolutely love this composition!! Beautiful soft lighting and lovely toning! Doesn't quite scream odriew to me, but not marking down. Top score and image in the challenge so far!
The Wonder Years! Beautiful and enchanting like always. This could only be rooum I just realized that majority of the pictures I recently added to my favorites were from you. If this is not Clive, I apologize. =) 9
