this is lovely, I loved it in the challenge, and enjoying seeing it again now..

Lovely shot Shannon, and as the other images in your portfolio will loose their luster and freshness, shots that capture a specific slice of our children's lives just get more and more valuable. It is rare to see the simple and sophisticated mixed so well.

it's scary how we know each others families too , that 1.8 is a great lens
Post actions
Way WAY better than your other consideration. Heck, even *I* can take a good tourist shot with the best of them sometimes, but it takes both a good photog and a good dad to get an angelic picture of a beautiful girl! Means a lot more, too, I'd wager.

I thought this was yours, Shannon. Too bad most of the voters prefer eye candy over this.

You can't get much better than this... Especially if you know the subject (which I don't, but can imagine that I do). Perfect composition and the lighting is outstanding. Great capture of emotion and focus. Well done.

Lovely portrait with just the princess and her dress.

So swweet... and a very nice composition too!

Perfect way to fill the frame..only one thing i might change is perhaps a little more sharpness on her face..but that is a personal nit-pick. 9

I actually have this picture on my computer--you posted it for an example of window lighting that I've used to show my students. I like it!

Sweet portrait, the unusual point of view and the composition coupled with the arranged dress make it especially memorable.
Post actions
Really nice POV and composition. The lighting and exposure are superb also. Good luck for the challenge.

A bit young to be a bride... But beautiful photo. 8.

I keep bumping this up. Such a lovely young girl, sweet smile, beautifully lit (a teensy bit bright above her head, but so what?) and of course the overhead comp is just spectacular.
Post actions

She is a princess! Good work.

Beautiful. Lighting is excellent - great composition.

Adorable, and excellent fill the frame. Blurry arms slightly detract, but shot still works well.

Voted earlier coming back to leave comments now. What an absolutely spectacular portrait of this young girl! I love the gleam in her eyes (nice catch lights btw) and the happy smile as she turns her face to look up at me. Her happy glow comes off the page and you cannot help but smile back. Her dress radiates in folds out from her body like rays of the sun. Love the soft but brilliant whites of the dress. The skin tones are just absolutely wonderful as is the lighting on your subject. You did a bang up job on this portrait.
Post actions
Great shot. Love the smile. Love looking up. Love the dress flowing around her.
Post actions
Very creative angle - the focus fells a bit soft
Post actions
Nicely composed. The folds of the dress lead your eyes directly to her.
Post actions
Ah, what a wonderful view! Her smile is so delightful - especially the way it shows in her eyes. I certainly hope this one is framed and hanging on the wall.
Post actions
One of our favorite movies - and a wonderful image to boot.
