beautiful moment you captured! I love the composition and the grain, too. I imagine if you use e.g. NeatImage the photo will be way too "smooth" and will loose it's wonderful cosy mood.

Check Save for Web settings. Could have been much closer to a ten...as is five. :(

The graininess works very well to create a nostalgic moment; reminds me of the old super-8 movies my parents have of my childhood. I would crop out a bit more of the foreground. Nice work!

It's a little grainy...I like it for this photo thou. I think a crop just above the forks and behind the '5' would have totally made this shot. Happy Birthday kid...mine is in Septmember too!

OK...want to be kind here...great pose and a lovely capture for a birthday, but the graininess in the image diminishes the quality of this...happy 5th birthday little girl just the same

now see, the image here works for me. It gives it a sort of old fashioned feel. Did you try making it a bw or even tritoned?

Love the lighting!! Very nice, soft photo. Like the composition. My eyes keep going in a triangle between the child's face, the candles and the forks. Very cool. 10

Considering the limited light, you've done fairly well here. It could have used a tidying up with a noise filter.

perfectly timed and nice emotion here...unfortunately, all that noise really does detract from the shot.

Reminds me of Norman Rockwell. Keepsake shot.

There are many technical issues with this image - pixelation, sharpening artifacts, weirdly blurred spots. However, looking past all those editing issues, there is an extremely well composed, well lit image. I love the image itself and would really like to see a re-edited version.

you captured a special moment with good composition and focus. The grain works for me in this classic looking shot and the glow on her face is just right. There are a few distractions like the red line leading to the childs chin (ribbon?) and something on the shirt, but i love this beautiful image, its the kind of shot that will be treasured always. good job!
