I love these wide open f/stop portraits. I've had mine dissed by the voters here before - but I think this is very nicely done! 7

What a precious little girl! Pure innocence, I like the softness of the face and the clarity of those beautiful brown eyes. Such a sweetie! 10!

The skin has a plastic feel, I'm guessing that neat image had something to do with this

Beautiful! I'm generally not a fan of soft focus, but I really like this. I love the focus on the eyes.

It's nice picture, but I get a sense of too much processing. The soft skin and the extremely sharp, white eyes make me feel like I'm looking at a photo of a porcelain doll... I dunno, I'm kinda in the "uncanny valley" with this one.

Beautiful portrait. Well done. The lighting on the left side of her nose is just a little bright so you lose the contours of the nose, but that is minor. Very nice job. 9.

AMAZING! I am staggered by the unequalled skill of the Master's ability to create one-of-a-kind human beings throughout HisStory without mistake & without duplicate! A face like this causes an emotion much like worship in the heart of any father. With a precious little girl of my own, I am quite familiar with that feeling. :)

Superior job on the eyes, nice dreamy quality, slightly out of focus but I think it helps the overall image. I scored you way high. Congrats on a great photo.
