I'm glad to see your Hubby has joined DPC, Lara! I hope you'll try again.

Scoring back in 2007 was much more harsh, I think, than it is now.

I really like this photograph... and I think it would score much more highly if you entered it now (which, of course, you can't... with the rules date, but... try again!)

Try again! Please! :D

This is lovely.
A bit of mottled skin... could be taken care of with a bit of legal gaussian blur in Advanced Editing... so the contrast wouldn't highlight that.

This is quite striking. You have a good eye. This girl looks like she might turn her head and speak to me any moment.

A little grainy. Could have been more in focus.

I like the composition. But I think some sharpness would help.
