Interesting processing on this. Direct lighting is a bit bland but it's still a decent portrait.

Hmm, the blur is not realy my taste. Looks like a snapshot to me.

Awww. hahah. A little to much of the out of focus parts but I love the story and expression.

This is almost a 'lensbaby effect', although to be honest, to my eye it certainly looks like it was done in post processing.

A bit more care with the color in the skin tones would have helped it. It seems a bit strong in the blues/magenta. This might have been a result of the camera trying to correct for the strong color of the bucket in auto white balance.

I think it's cute and while I don't like the way the effects have been applied, I think the effects themselves are pretty fun, so I'm going to take the vote down and bring it back up again to 6. I wish there was a 6.5...

On second thoughts, nyeh, it's a happy challenge, so I'll give ya a free 'happy point'! :)

I think there's just a bit too much soft focus going on. What a little cutie, though!
