Taken in late afternoon. She loved to pose and when I told her I would be entering it in a challenge online she said "Well honey, you know it will win" Let's hope her faith in herself transfers to DP voters (grin)
Myself, I am expecting high 5's to low 6 but who knows.
Wow - thanks everyone .. and especially for the comments - and yeah bvy, the name was kinda obvious - point well taken.

Way to go, Maggie! I wish you could see her again and tell her how well her picture did. This is really a good photo of her, I bet she'd love it. Congratulations on first page honors :)
Her smile, her teeth especially, nicely echo her scarf and jewelry. This has a lot of warmth -- even in black and white. (The Whoopi comparison was unnecessary.)
Comment only from a non-voting, non-member: The bulk of submissions for this challenge seem bland and at times soul-less. This captures a spirit missing from most of the others.
Awww, she is BEAUTIFUL! And she is also photographed to perfection! I love the texture in her skin and the high contrast. GREAT JOB! I'm not voting in this challenge, but I absolutely love this one!
