The message A nice portrait that shows off some of the girl's personality. She seems bubbly, exuberant, and (yes!) funny. Someone who would be a joy to be with.
Creative choices The model's expression is great, and really "makes" this photo. The striped shirt works well, as does the hat. The lighting doesn't seem right, although I don't have enough experience myself to say just what's wrong; the shadows just seem strange. I like the centered composition (after all, she likes to be the "center of attention", right!). But I think cropping off the bottom third (at about her elbows) would give the portrait more impact.
Technical aspects This photo is technically perfect. Focus, exposure, color are all great.
A lovely young lady! Great expression. Pose is a little to centered and straight on. This makes the shot look a little flat. If you turned her a little and croopped off side a bit (probably the right since she is looking to the left) it would give a more potent composition.

Lighting: Nicely done, although the shadow on the nose may be a bit strong.
Pose: Her expression is the shot, so a tighter framing around her face and shoulders would have made this a much stronger portrait of her. Other than that, I would have prefered the camera angle to have been a bit above her eye level.
Background: The background is great. It compliments her shirt nicely.
Great expression. The light is somewhat dark at the bottom, and the focus is a little soft, but if this is your first attempt, you might want to consider a cereer in portraits. ;-)
This is adorable. You know she will probably want to crawl under the nearest rock when you show this to her prom date, right? Great portrait. The look on her face is priceless. I would prefer a more right-handed presentation...crop off to the right and leave negative space on the left in the direction to where she looks. Good effort! :o)
Yea! A portrait with some life and humour! Focus, sharpness, colour, lighting of facial features all commendable. Wrinkled drapery and trousers at bottom of frame are distracting; you don't want to crop fingers though, so to fix that would require reshoot. Might have cropped a little higher, so that her head was a little farther from top of frame. Give that model a lollipop for a job well done!
Cute kid shot! I really like the way her clothes are similar tones to the colour of the background ....makes me focus on the girl. Lovely lighting and skin tones. Pose is a bit different from the classic which adds interest. Good studio color portrait.
Very good shot, outstanding for your first attemptm she is adorable by the way , I love kid portraits, their faces reveal alot more than adults, I love it 9
A wonderful child and GREAT expression. BAckground and its color is perfect for this. The biggest problem is the hot spot on the hat just above her forehead.
Looks great to me. Just the spotty, uneven lighting but I think it works here. I also of liked her cropped a little tighter. Over all this is really good. 8 from me.
That's good that you're trying something for the first time. I don't know if you need to tell voters that or not, it seems like you're trying to get better votes from sympathy that it is you first attempt. But it is well done nevertheles. Would like to see more of the bottom cropped off: lighting doesn't match the rest.
