I love this technique, sort of antique look about it, would grace any wall as a centerpiece, with the correct frame of course.
Deserved to be placed much higher,

What a great portrait but it seems blurry. You shot her well. You got down to her level instead of shooting her from above but you need to change your focal point to her eyes. Kids have amazing eyes and if you get those right you will have a stunning portrait every time.
What a look - it absolutely makes this shot.
So often the eyes are over-done in post-processing to become a strong focal point, yet these are natural and yet still draws my eyes to them - well done!
The intense stare is pretty creepy! Where did one so young get such a look? Well captured, composed, lit and presented. Does a great job conveying an emotional payload!
Technical: love the coloring, composition, pose and lighting. Seems like the white is a little blown out but it's ok!
Creativity: the saturation is what makes this photo fit the name! great job.
Personal Opinion: she looks like a doll that may grandma used to have sitting on the shelf...too cute...
Score: 7
