I really like the lighting set up that I used for this. This is my daughter and we placed her at the edge of the sunlight on a porch overhang. I placed some white sheets below her to bounce sunlight up onto her face. I converted it to black and white using channel mixer and added a bleach bypass filter with grain for the final image. I wanted her to look like she was at church for her confirmation....I tired to be as "good" as possible.

Great subject and title, but I wish the size of the entry was up to the DPC maximum recommended size (640 px on the largest dimension) so I can inspect it closer.
wow, this is really lovely and ethereal. I see so many pictures here similar to this, but lacking the magic. I think it's only the size that will keep this from ribboning.
Wonderful shot. This certainly stands out in this challenge. Great lighting & overall emotive feel. Rare that a shot so small can seem larger than life. Well done. 8 :O)
his is a superb image...but I wish you submitted it at the full 640px instead of 461px...I love the eyes and the b and w...I am trying to see the connection to the challenge topic, and apart from the fact that she is a good girl partaking in confirmation, I can't really see how this works...but I do like the image it's lovely 7
I hope people don't mark you down for the size, because this is honestly my favorite shot in the challenge. Great expression, and the picture just looks so crisp.
This is very good. I think you might lose a few votes cos you didn't take advantage of using a larger size pic. I like the contrasts. The black and white is really good. I like her gaze and her freckles. I really like this a lot.
