 I have a theory that pictures of kids with stuff on their heads do well here. This is my first scientific exploration of said hypothesis :).

The strange texture on her face is the result of sunlight shining through a flyscreen - I didn't notice it until it was too late to re-shoot.

Just for kicks - here's an out-take - I think it's a better photo, but the lighting was a little more subtle, so I pulled it.

The lighting here is very nice. I'd like just a touch more light on the hidden eye - enough so that it's still in the shadow, but slightly more visible, but I realize this is personal taste. There appears to be some strange texture on her sheek and forhead; not sure what this is...?

great use of lighting, however, one thing that bothers me. I can just make her right eye out, and I believe the rule to be you either show the eye, or hide it. Its a tad distracting for me, some burning would remedy this. GL

She certainly doesn't look happy about having a bath ;)

Lovely composition and lighting, I wish there was a tiny bit more detail on the left side of her face.

I do like the lighting. Wet hair would have been a nice touch.

I thought of trying to do a shot like this with a striking light on one side of the face. I ended up doing something else, but I love how well you have pulled this off.

Very beautiful. I love the use of shadows on the child's face.

Looks like you used some window light... I LOVE your picture ! and how the light sets the mood for it. I hope you do great ! Congrats!
The girl shows some texture on her face, is this from the window?

Good light and composition. The towel is a bit blown out but not bad. I see some pattern on her face..? Not sure what that is. Cute, great brown eyes.8

I smile would have made this near perfect. I like the concept and the composition is good. The shadow on the chin could have been avoided. Overall great job though!
