I like this but probably not in the manner you intended. The lighting is harsh and unflattering, the crop is severe, and the red duotone is a tad macabre. In a way, it's kind of creepy.

I'm scoring it relatively high (a seven) because I like it for its (sorry!) shock value. I hope you won't take offense. I'm sure she is an angel, but this isn't the best showing of it. Maybe the title was meant to be ironic...

A nice portrait for the parents. However for me I don't care for the monochromatic tone nor the flat straight lighting. The eyes appear overly dark and with the rustish like colour I would guess not angel but the other side. However as long as you are happy that is what matters.

Hmm the dark eyes make this haunting somehow.
