I love these wide open f/stop portraits. I've had mine dissed by the voters here before - but I think this is very nicely done! 7

What a precious little girl! Pure innocence, I like the softness of the face and the clarity of those beautiful brown eyes. Such a sweetie! 10!

The skin has a plastic feel, I'm guessing that neat image had something to do with this

Beautiful! I'm generally not a fan of soft focus, but I really like this. I love the focus on the eyes.

It's nice picture, but I get a sense of too much processing. The soft skin and the extremely sharp, white eyes make me feel like I'm looking at a photo of a porcelain doll... I dunno, I'm kinda in the "uncanny valley" with this one.

Beautiful portrait. Well done. The lighting on the left side of her nose is just a little bright so you lose the contours of the nose, but that is minor. Very nice job. 9.

AMAZING! I am staggered by the unequalled skill of the Master's ability to create one-of-a-kind human beings throughout HisStory without mistake & without duplicate! A face like this causes an emotion much like worship in the heart of any father. With a precious little girl of my own, I am quite familiar with that feeling. :)

Superior job on the eyes, nice dreamy quality, slightly out of focus but I think it helps the overall image. I scored you way high. Congrats on a great photo.

Nice photo but way to heavy handed on processing

way too much neat image ... sorry, all texture in her skin is gone

Too "neat" for my taste

just a little too soft.

Maybe a little soft but I do like those eyes.

Need to try and get those eyes tack sharp to add impact!
