Was confident this was yours, glad I was right. Straight from the camera - framed like this, with the character of the 'fore' and the background subjects - very good, again, as usual.
Beautiful capture. I love her shy but quiet confidence. Love the dimple.
I like the somewhat unexpected placement of the subject and the use of the landscape format. It is interesting to see your work without the post-processing that tends to give your photos away. I didn't see this during the voting.
8 - Very good candid/portrait, as usual - assuming I recognize the photographer's work. The crowd in the background oof is good and adds to the 'story' and character overall. Difficult, but the eyes even sharper, make this even better in my opinion. Very good 'straight from the camera' shot.
this is fantastic...never would have guessed that it was unprocessed...my only (very, very minor) nit is that perhaps a tad bit more light is needed on her face...that hardly makes a difference here, though, as you did a wonderful job and IMO deserve a ribbon for this.
Absolutely wonderful. Perfect lighting and composition. What a sweet expression on her face. The crowd in the background really works well to force my attention to the main subject.
The Look has to be in the DNA because it apparently has no boundaries (country, age, status.) Certainly, the Divine signature of womanhood...in my humble opinion. :)
I've always been torn to shreds for having my subjects pose like that. I have no idea why... Personally, I think it looks natural and I like it. Great capture, DoF, light and composition.
Cute little girl. I think I really like the composition here. Most portraits would have cropped out the children in the background or photographed it so they weren't there at all. I think it adds a little to the shot that they've been included.
