This is a great portrait! This is how portraits should be done, not those cheesy soft focus, corny poses.

freckles are fantastic. The shine on her lips and in her eyes are wonderful.

Kelly you have a unique and beautiful way of capturing a person's personality. I love the brightness of this photo, the gaze and the colour.

The average score is unbelievable. Not to take anything away from the ribbon winners or those that placed higher, but this picture is superior to most in the challenge. I thought it would place in the top 5. I am at a loss to understand why.

This is by far one of the top 5 for sure and it was absurd how it didn't do better. Some comments on this just blow me away. This is tack sharp, great skin tones, great composition, the eyes are so clear and sparkly.

I just don't get it.

I agree with Joey. Robbed. Robbed blind. This is a ribbon winner.

I thought I had commented on this shot during the challenge. I really think this is a good one. Love the combination of innocence and almost grunge or gothic tones. (At least that's how it comes across to me.) The eyes are truly remarkable - intense. Very unusually appealing shot that definitely sticks with you. Great job!

Great one, it has a big impact on me with the eyes, and high contrast. I also dig you're crop here kelly, all together this is awesome!
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I don't think angel effect works well with freckles. Look at the other obvious freckle portrait and you will see the difference. 6

IThis is a lovely little lady, but I find the thick dark eyeliner on a child that looks this young to be a bit much. Instead of enhancing her eyes in a positive way, it appears to make them scream at you in a negative way. It seems that the overall photo has a bit too much saturation or contrast making it seem too harsh. I do feel it was a good choice to fill the frame with your subject.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
09/13/2005 09:42:24 PM
Wow I love the contrast, great job with the freckles!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
09/13/2005 06:15:44 PM
This picture has lots of character! The only suggestion that I have is the whites of the eyes look too white. Other than that good job!

Stunning eyes.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
09/13/2005 09:46:02 AM
For some reason, this one feels just a bit too much "in my face"....too close. I don't really know why that is because I like the portrait. The lighting is good, the clarity and focus are excellent. Good job bringing attention to the eyes. I just keep thinking I would like it better backed off just a bit.

Strongly intense coloring. All I see are the eyes and the rest of the photo is lost to me.

stunning colors especially her eyes and hair

09/12/2005 11:12:17 AM
to much contrast to me. A natural look would have been so much better

Isnt this the Irish girl I voted for earlier?

09/12/2005 07:16:45 AM
Very cool shot. Eyes are spectacular. This must look great as a b&w too.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
09/12/2005 05:51:12 AM
Love those eyes! It would seem to be slightly unsharp? perhaps the dof could have been
a little less shallow? A good capture none the less.

she's adorable! :)

A portrait of loveliness. Great Job.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
09/11/2005 09:11:26 PM
the eyes look to exaggerated. But I still like the photo well enough for the top half so far. I may be back to bump this one, be patient with me I've only just started voting.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
09/11/2005 09:04:36 PM
This is so outstanding that I cannot explain. The "in your face" feeling compells me to just gaze into those beautiful blue eyes. The freckles are so charming and give it an innocence. The clarity is superb. Beautiful skin tones as well. Bravo!!! 10

Hypnotising and so busy at the same time. Keep my eyes moving in-between the freckle and the eyes. Nice work!8

Wow! Look at those eyes!

PS we called freckles "angel kisses" when I was growing up! Nice! 10

I think I recognise her...I don't remember your id though.. something like kalliopel... ?
Nice work. The eyes look a little over processed though
