 Thanks eveyone for all of the nice comments!! I'm so happy about finishing in the top 10.

Thanks again!!!

This is an adorable candid shot. Love the white on white. Much deserved top 10!

An image that immediately pulls on the heart string. The "on the toe" thing is just endearing. Congratulations on your top 10 finish.

Great shot. I think this may be the one that teaches you DPC doesn't like big borders. (I learned that lesson a while back as well.) Could have been Top 5 othrwise.

I'm not sure about the borders, but the image itself is cute. There could be a little more contrast or shadows between the white door and the white dress. That would make the cherubic little girl pop out more. The peeling paint on the door is a nice touch. On the whole, this is a sweet capture and going to favs! Good job!

The big border really detracts from the photo IMO. cute picture.

the picture is perfect imo, i only suggest a lighter framing

Love the picture, but the matte / frame thing you have going on seems very overpowering & detracts from the image.

Very nice photo but I don't like the frame. It is too big.

success as part of a continuum...interesting. great abstract imagery.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Very adorable image. The contrast of the sweet, well groomed innocence of the little girl with the cracked and peeling paint adds detail and interest. I'm not usually fond of large bold borders, but it works well for this image.

A really sweet shot. I wish you hadn't spoiled it with the giant border, though.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Fantastic, the dark tones of the hair stand out so well against the other light and middle gray ones.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Superb. A poignant moment, captured very artistically. Look at her on her tippy-toes!

Nice composition wish there was more contrast between the dress and the wall and door. A little to white.

I really like the simplicity of this shot. I also like the black and white conversion. Great shot of a child. It's not one of those, "Look at my cute child," pictures. Nothing to improve. I hope it does well.

This is beautiful. So sweet. Black & white definitely works well here. Cool idea on the framing.

Love the frame, no matter what others may say :o) A big ol' ten.

don't eat the paint chips ... sorry paranoid parent speaking. This is cute and revealing -- her bare feet make me nervous ... sorry paranoid parent speaking again. I kinda would like more picture, less border. 7

This is an excellent photo, tells a story, has the appeal of photographs from days of old.... well done - bump

I like the high key and the worn paint on the doorway. The frame is kind of overdone.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 05/24/2006 12:41:12 PM
Needed a touch more contrast.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 05/24/2006 12:12:50 PM
One very special photo. I will make it one of my favorites. I like it. i would have liked to see it without the frame.

This is absolutely adorable! I wish there was a little more detail in the dress, but it's my favorite just the same.
