This was my first series with any sort of real lighting. Too many cute shots to choose.
I doubt this will score as high as my last portrait of Isabella. The background was poorly lit, the left looked good, the right was textured, so I evened it out with levels. This gave me some hot spots that I could not recover without a mask, so they stayed. I'll be extremely happy if this cracks a 6, but I suspect it will pull a 5.8xx due to the harsh highlights. Great learning experience.

This is nice, 6 from me; I think if the crop weren't so close to her I'd give it a 7. I'd like it to be zoomed out just a tad more, to see more of her skirt and hat.

Like the idea, execultion was good, however I would not have cropped out the top of her head. The headpiece is also Purple and it being cut off detracts for me
