Thank you so much for all the great comments.
This is my granddaughter, Marisa, again. I got 3 shots when I took this and then she didn't want to do it anymore! I didn't ask her to stick her tongue out but when I asked her to open her fingers a little wider, she had to stick out her tongue to help help with the coordination.
I was going to do it in color but the ends of her sleeves had chocolate milk on them from lunch.

Congrats on a well deserved 5th place! It is certainly the most literal take on the challenge, but you pulled it off very well. the lighting is great, exposure is bang on, and she is darn cute!
Not too shabby but this needs a wee bit more contrast for a b&w photo. I would like to see a colour version cuz I have doubts that this looks better in B&W. What colour are her eyes, they look beautiful.
I love the tones and the subject is priceless. The texture seems a little unnatural to me -- too much noise reduction maybe? Very nice though. A seven for you.
