Great portrait. Nice use of DoF. I wish the light were catching her face or eyes just a touch more.

WOW! Her hair blends so well. There is forground and background bokeh as well. This is quite nice - you may be seeing a ribbon!

I like this. Your bukeh adds to the value of the picture - unlike most of the other photos in this competition.

I like the way almost everything leans to the left.

Very nice picture. Love the light on the kid and the soothing background bokeh.Only nit is the area near the top could have been cropped out a bit, but still it is an excellent capture

You have a good bokeh there, and i don't know if i'm wrong in my opinion, but the little girl (cutie model) is so more important in this photo than the bokeh. The part with the good bokeh is just too small. Lighting is great and colors too...i think you would have a amazing photo in another perspective. Maybe with the girl on her knees or on foot to get a higher vision of the fields of gold. Good luck!

Great shot. I love the flow of this photo, and the blond hair against the golden field and warm sunlight.

I feel like the face could have used a little bit of fill. It seems slightly dark. Since for this challenge, you cannot use selective adjustments, it would have helped to perhaps use a reflector, to bounce a bit of light back into her face, or a tiny bit of fill flash (preferably off camera)
