OH MAN - I missed seeing this one. Utterly fantastic shot on all counts - the lighting, sharp focus on those pretty eyes, her pleasant expression, all just wonderful!
Competition in FS challenges is fierce, so you should be very proud of your score and finish with this. Regardless, you should be very happy to have such a great image of your beautiful niece (Bianca?)
Very interesting and pretty lighting, coming in from both sides. Her eyes really sparkle with the 'double' catchlights. I like the lines of the compostion very much. The line of the back of her arm, to me, is like an inverted reflection of the line of the right side of her face. I hope that makes sense :) ANyway, I really like this. 8 from me.
