This is my daughter Abbie. This shot is very high key and very different from my norm, but I lov eit. She's a hard one to get a good picture of because she likes to make silly faces when daddy has the camera, so I wanted to get this in because the Lord only knows when I'll get another one like it. I had some others I was going to use, but this one just stood out to me. I don't expect a good score, but who needs a good score when you have a girl like this to give you hugs and kisses...

Oh, wow! I saw this image earlier, but now I'm really looking at it and I really think it's wonderful. I see that you got robbed with this score also. This should have done much better IMO.
105th!? pffft. Easily made my top25. This has everything a high key portait should. High key pics don't normally have much detail in the skin, and this being a young child I wouldn't expect much texture. I'm very picky about plasticy looking skin and the PP here doesn't bother me one bit.
A most excellent high hey portrait of a very charming kid. The crop, pose, detail, lighting. All look great. If I'd only mention one tiny nitpick, the edge of her right cheeck looks too sharpened but that's it. Would appreciate any behind the scenes info :)
