I haven't had alot of time to enter challenges lately, unless I just happen to take a photo that fits..So I took the time out today to do this. My daughter Lizzie was so very patient and didn't complain when I stuck the wings to her back with gaffa and when her hair got stuck in the tape!!

Gorgeous! I love the movement in the skirt and her hair. I think the shot would have been improved though if her body had been facing in the same direction but with her head turned towards the camera, looking over her left shoulder, just enough for us to see the side of her face. Not being able to see her face and have something to 'focus' on makes me, as the viewer, feel a little disconnected from the photo. Does that make sense? :-)
The soft whites really pop of those lovely pink tones. Both hues add to the sense of something delicate, dainty & precious which perfectly compliments this little twirling girl. I love the sense of motion that you captured here for the twirling motion gives us the sense of playfulness and joy in dance that can give one 'wings'. The color, mood, and motion do indeed enchant the viewer. My only critique, a small one at that, is that I wish the curls of her hair did not obscure the top half of the wings such that they would be more prominently visible in the picture. Great job - 9
This is a studio shot that works. Love the pink and the movement. Her tendrils really add to the shot. I think if I were to critique anything, I wouldn't crop it so tightly. 7
beautiful! love the colour and the composition...not sure what happened with the editing as there seem to be some digital 'rings' happening in the bg...I love it though 9
