 My 7 year old was playing with tape and taped her mouth shut. I grabbed my camera and shot a few frames with available window lighting. She seems much older then that to me in this photo. I feel this photo shows deep emotion, a kind of emotion that usually doesn't go over well here. Guess we'll see.....

I'm not crazy about the concept (I guess I just don't like seeing a child with taped mouth) ... however, good use of lighting and meets the challenge well. Good marks.

I like it I like it I like it! The look you have captured on the subect, marvellous.

Only nitpick is the thin hair across the forehead.

Very well captured! Adding it to my favourites.

Even though it's creepy as hell, it's a great composition. Focus could be sharper on the tip of the nose, it seems to pull my eyes from her eye. If the nose was off centered to the left a little it may have helped.

Overall, I like it.
