Very cute! Makes me wonder if there's a story here. I am wondering why you chose b/w for this though...

Absolutely adorable. I personally think that kids sometimes look the cutest with they are filthy! ;) Lovely lighting, clarity, and the eyes pop really well. 10 from me. Good luck in the challenge.

I'm not fond of the title, but I do like the picture. Great lighting and composition. The dirt is a bit on the "made up" side. 6
