Even though redheads are not supposed to wear pink I think she looks just fetching. Little girls can get away with so many fashion faux pas. :D Lovely!
The mix of colors is very vibrant and colorful. Composition is good. Her expression is good, and the skin tones are nicely even. It's usually good to have the eyes be very sharp on portraits that have been softened, although I understand how that could be difficult giving the restraints of the rules. The single strand across her cheek is a little distracting, but not overly so.
Based on comments on my entry, I'm guessing you have some "too sharp" comments. I like it because I think you're using color (rather than blurriness) as the "softening agent," and I like seeing people try different techniques. Cute photo too!
Cute. Real cute. But I'll bet she's pretty in any color! Maybe just a little more softness though (just my opinion). And a tighter crop on her face to eliminate the distracting leaves or weeds.
This is a charming, eye-catching shot. First of all you couldn't get a better model. Next the combination of that pink fuzzy hood and that beautiful hair is super! The soft focus is just right - not blurred, but glowing. Wish the back of the hood were in the picture too feels cut off - or crop out all of the background, just have the pink framing her face? 8
Wow, what a wild color combination. I am just making the preliminary look at all images so I will come back to this but I had to comment on the freckles, the hair, and the pink. Outrageous.
Now I am back, having looked at all and mostly given final votes. This holds up well for me 8
Wow------ contrasting colors. Fantastic. The blue eyes!!!! I really like this. I do think a tighter crop would been beneficial here. The whole left [leaves] could of been left out. Met the challenge 100%. Good job.
