 Breanna, at age 8, is in a class of her own. While processing this shot, I was immediately reminded of "Alice in Wonderland" (Not the disney version), and how zany and disturbing that tale really is... and how wonderfully fitting this photo is to it.

A Rare shot taken with my 28mm f/2.8 MF lens.

This is such an awesome photograph. It epitomizes your terrifically wry sense of humor, highlights the amazing beauty and innocence of your subjects, and conveys perfectly a Wonderland indeed.
Simply terrific.

Well, you've already heard the stuff bout the light on her mouth, but not sure if you know how it could be most easily fixed...

The Clone Tool in PS has an option for color, rather than normal. Clone an area of her face that is the darker coloration and then switch to the color option and fill in the area that is lighter using a < 20% opacity until it is just right, then we all stop mentioning it.

By the way. I love this image. It is classic and eerie.

Yes, the light on her mouth is distracting, that was my first thought about this photo.
Other than that, I like it!

This one is gorgeous!
Before even reading your comment I immediately remembered that same version of Alice in wonderland (and while we're at it, what are the chances you could tell me where I can find that version? It does not exist in Israel, and I would looooove to find it!)
I think I can even see that cheshire in those trees behind!

I agree with Peete though, about that weird light that crosses her mouth. I'd try to burn it a little to make it exactly the same color the entire face are.
This photo is so surreal and brilliant!

excellent photo, the only thing that is a bit odd is the light on the girls mouth.
