Almost a year ago this young girl was living at La Chureca, the dump outside Managua, Nicaragua. Chances are high you will find her there today a year older and more worn. No wonder this place is one of the seven horrors of the world. I hope her family managed to get out of this living hell but I fear she is still there.

This was one of my favorites of the challenge. the capture and expression are amazing, and I still can't get over how low you placed. This was top three material.
This was/is my favorite-most shot of the best of 2008 series. And I simply love it!
The expression that you have capture of her, the composition, the background color blending into the color of the subject, and the overall feel -all are excellent here. There is small glich in blown out hair (but I shall live with it).

Great expression, great subject. The lighting really highlights the wild hair yet the face is perfectly exposed in softer light. Well done! I think I'd like more negative space in front of the subject but your composition creates additional tension. 10
