Great start for your first entry =o) I simply adore this photo as I said during the voting its a 10 from me, but then I am very partial to the sentimental types.
Your focus and dof are really good. The little girl is in good focus while the bear is slightly softer. The only thing I might change about the whole image is a little lighter, the little girl especially appears to be too dark, based on skintones.
I believe it does say Home Sweet Home in such a soft delicate way, well done and welcome to DPChallenge. I'll be looking forward to seeing more images like this in the near future from you =o)
What a beautiful and endearing photo. So soft and gentle. Makes you want to reach out and just hug the little angel who just seems to be being protected by the big bear. Good luck. Its a 10 =o)
