Loved seeing this picture come up for me to comment on. I really enjoyed your model throughout the 30 days of portraits and I enjoyed this picture as well. I gave this shot a 6 in challenge. I think there are a couple of things that could have been changed to bring that score up.
You sure caught three nice expressions, but the change in framing on the last image really breaks the flow. The third image has such a strong expression that I think it would have fit better in the middle - even if the alignment of the girl in the image had been the same.
Well - I guess thats it. I think that is the biggest reason your image didnt break 6. The b&w conversion is nice, the frame is pretty cool (maybe a bit thinner on the black outer part) but overall it compliments your images nicely. Nice detail and a really cute girl. This is a just a really nice and pleasing image. Not a whopping stunner to bring you in the higher votes but really nothing drastically wrong either which shows in your tight vote spread. Not alot real high but no real low ones either.
Keep on with the good work. I look forward to seeing your future images!
Cute expressions although the first and second are a little similar. Perhaps having the third one in the middle would have balanced it out. Nice shot though.
