Location: Buffalo, NY

 A candid of my daughter on Christmas.

Window light = ISO 1600. SS was 1/80 but it is remarkably sharp.

I just really liked this, so I thought I would enter it in the free study. I like her profile and expression. I wish some more of her arms were showing. I wish that my angle was a little more creative, so I could have had a more interesting composition.

very nice. IMO which isnt worth much you have too much out of focus curtain on the right side of photo. I think i would like it better if it was cropped in closer to remove some of the curtain. still a very nice shot

Great image, I like the BW, and the candid pose. I dislike the space above her head for some reason...

Wonderful capture. I love the composition and the hint of sepia tones. Back to bump you up to 9.

A bit twee for my taste, but excellently done for what it is. The foreground bokeh is nice too - though that's a bugbear for many, as I expect some will have commented.

I think this would be even better if you cropped most of the out of focus curtain off from the right. I like the child's expression and the black and white works well.

Nice capture of this child. Why so much curtain at the top ? 6

Love her face and profile. The curtains on the right really are distracting. What if you cropped and just had a zoom in on her upper torso, and eliminate the curtains alltogether?
