This looked so beautiful to me, the rich greens of Eden, even the black looks green, and your daughter is just a study of reds and pinks... but then I saw that apple (which I believe is out of focus, not "blown out") and I realized that I was unable to see the individual toothmarks. I don't understand. How could you do this? How can I possibly enjoy this image without seeing the toothmarks? Have you no photographic decency? Must I now buy an apple and bite it myself? Once again, you have betrayed DPC with your blind devotion to mood and tone and spirit.
I love the light on her hair and skin.(and the flowers) I wish here hands were not motion blurred but its real life, so it doesn't bother me much at all.
I like the background. Nice contrast to the girl. While you did a great job in the exposure of the girl, the apple is overexposed. Nice saturation of the colors. Your DOF just brings her fingers out of focus.
