i ended up doing a grid painting of this photo and took a pic of it on my phone, so its my background :)
Post actions
I've looked at this photo countless times but just realized I've never added it to my favorites (that's done now). This, IMO, is one of the handful of examples of "timeless" DPC images. If there was a hall of fame, this would be there.

nice and sharp picture my friend :) I like every thing in it :)

Great Shot, Could have brought sharpening down a bit. Nice lighting and contrast.
Post actions
What can you say: 10! That's all. It's perfect! Gallery work! If it doesn't ribbon, I quit (just kidding, but it should!)
Post actions
Another beautiful portrait fo this beautiful little girl. I really like the expression and the hand over mouth suggesting a realisation of having done something wrong or having said something she oughtn't to have said... definitely a tiny slice of a story.
Post actions

wow she's beautiful! i really love the detail!
Post actions
Very nice entry......one of my top three.
Post actions
Stunning... this is the clear winner for the challenge in my book. The tones, the expression.. and the reflection of the person are all perfect. If I had to make a suggestion, I would say it looks just slightly oversharpened. Good luck!

A powerful expression from one so young. 8.

Gorgeous child - Gorgeous photograph!
Post actions
great texture and contrast. She has a genuine look of concern. My prediction: top 3.
Post actions
wonderful skin tones and texture. even though its a high contrast challenge I wish the highlighs on the fingers and nose were a little more subtle.
Post actions
Post actions
WOW!!!! This is an amazing shot - Very nice!!
Post actions
easy. although it was on page 4 so it took me a few minutes :)
Post actions
This is beautiful, I bet we see this on the front page.
Post actions
bold frame doesn't add to an otherwise very good portrait. only imperfection is the blown lights on her fingertips -8
Post actions
beautifull, very strong. one of the best 10
Post actions
Post actions
WoW! So beautiful! Lovely texture.
