okay. i hope no one thinks this is too 'processed' looking, but i wanted the dirty hands to stand out, and her eyes also.

The dof in this is very nice great job. I like the pink in the corner as well

Nice portrait, though for this challenge, I would have liked to see more of the environment. Something about the exposure bothers me a bit, like it is too grey and muddy-ish. Looks like you may have tried to decrease the contrast to compensate for the harsh lighting, but went a little too far. I tried doing a levels adjustment in Photoshop, and it seems that simply giving it a true white and black point made quite a difference. Makes it pop and look more natural too.

Cute girl. I would have like to see her actually playing in the garden.

Sympathatic picture, composition and dof work well for me. It has an overprocessed feel to it though, probably lit up the shadows a little too much=

Fantastic shot - and very cute model....the depth of field makes the background look like a painting - also like the framing with the subject off center ....

Cute photo but looks like the contrast is off a bit.

Beautiful portrait. The dirt on her hands helps a ton, but I wouldn't have known "gardener" had it not been for the title. Perhaps a slightly wider angle would have accomplished that.

Needs a bit more contrast as it looks (for lack of a better term) "muddy". Pun not intended.
