I love the way that her feet are off the ground. It almost looks like she is about to take off flying or something. Very Peter Pan -ish.
My only wish is that it was a little sharper. But I think it works, even with a tidbit of softness. What do you guys think? Really, I mean, I can take it!

    Ohh...I think this is precious! You caught her in such a perfect position...feet off the ground, fingers daintily holding her dress, beautiful curls in her hair. Yes, I think you got a good one today, for sure! I don't mind the softness either...it adds to the dream-like quality. Great job! clap.gif

    I adore that photo, and I think the lack of sharpness looks intentional. The only thing I might add is a tiny bit more tilt and maybe crop out a bit...I tend to like more distant crops for full-body walking-away shots. BUT, I think it's nearly ideal as-is! Good job!thumb.gif

    Like this photo a lot!! thumb.gif This is one of my favorite shots when doing kids portrait sessions. Parents love to buy this type of picture. Wouldn't worry at all about the sharpness, if I were to do anything to it I would go the other way and give it a little softer glow for more of an angelic feeling.

    I think your image is great. You've captured a moment of sweetness. I like the soft vignette in the corners.

    I think it is perfect. Maybe cropped a little too tight as someone else suggested, but the tilt works, the softness works, and the colors pop off the background. If I had caught that, I would be super satisfied with it!!!

    Good Job.
