Post- Challenge - Yes, this is Kita...! My girl is now 10 years old. Here is an outtake. And for the record these two images are now being used in a computer department of a large store to promote a particular printer, to show the details of these photos...right down to the little hairs on her arm and above her lip.
BTW.....I put the tattoos on her face....she absolutely loved it. So I must be the 4 year old...but I will tell you one thing...we had some fun 'mum and daughter' time doing it. And that is more important than anything.

What a fantastic shot! regardless of where it placed in the challenge as a photo it is a perfect 10. The lighting is great and the eyes are stunning! Glad to hear that you got something more important out of the shot and that is some bonding time with your daughter.
all the tatoos are a bit much for me, it looks like a 4 year old kind of attacked her face. haha your lighting is is FABULOUS and i love her eyes and expression, if it were me i would loose all the tatoos besides the flowers with the swirlies under her eyes and the butterfly in the center of her forhead. i also like the texture in her hair, it balances the sharpness in her eyes with the softness in the rest of the pciture. the border doesn't really seem necessary either in my opinion. I don't know if it is just my monitor but it has a blueish tint to it which i also think is cool
Rules state: "Compose your photograph so that nothing but your subject is in the frame." IMO there is too much b.g. to meet letter of rules. Very nice photo otherwise. 7
They are of life. Kinda makes sense, but did you mean to say, "I am life"? If so, simply drop the "di". Gorgeous artwork btw, must have taken you ages. And WOW, stunning b&w. Buona fortuna! 10.
this beautiful girl has portrayed some serious attitude here. professionally modeled and equally well photographed. i am not sure about that white frame border though. btw this is one of the very few shots where i did not mind having hair in focus without the complete front-face in focus. nice make-up work too.
Lose the border - it cost you a point. Otherwise, the only bad thing about it is it may not meet everyone's idea of filling the frame. I Still think it's freaky coool though. 8
