The gaze is a bit too intent for a daydream. I see a daydream as a more wistful, unfocused look - which is really the entire premise of this shot. The border is unnecessary/pointless but it's nicely lit and quite crisp.
Very nice dreamy feeling. Love the colours in her face and hair. I also like the thin border in this case. I makes ordinary shot look like a professional portrait. The only thing - I would have made the thin line evenly apart from the edge all around (it looks like it has wider space on the side than on top and bottom).
I like the lighting on this shot and the faraway look in her eyes, if you could have gotten more of her face so you could see both eyes I would have probably score a bit higher
The photo is everything it should be on the technical side. The child looks as if she is about to cry. When I daydream, I usually am having pleasant thoughts. Maybe it should have a different title.
Very nice portrait. You could perhaps be clearer whether she is the daydream or whether she is the one doing the daydreaming. I love the light splashed across her face.
lovely portrait and the light is perfect. a brighter facial expression and maybe a little more exposure in the background would help sell the "daydream" idea.
I like this one a lot but the young woman's face seems almost sullen rather than dreamy - the jaw is set and it's almost active rather than soft and lost in daydream
Beautiful lighting, but the composition and frame bother me. The frame is just obtrusive and unnecessary. I feel that there is an odd amount of negative space, and wish that there was either more or less of it. I'd have been tempted to crop out the right of the frame just after her hair and remove the shoulder. And have more negative space to the left. Score without the frame: 7. With frame: 6. (and with no border and cropped effectively: 8)
The shadowing throws this photo off a bit, particularly that cast by the nose. Nonetheless, an interesting shot but it says "pensive" more than "dreaming".
