The lighting is really good on her face, and she looks like she is on the verge of making a big smile.

Very sweet catch. I can see why you chose this to enter. What a soft, natural, revealing expression in both her face and body language. The technicals are top-notch as well.

Aptly titled and well photographed.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I love this portrait. You really did a great job on the focus and exposure- a little back lighting. You can tell she is thinking about something but can't quite seem to explains it to somebody. 10

The punch of the details and colours is superb.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 03:22:33 AM
sweet, she seems like someone who would be very animated, I like the negative space on the left hand side, you've got good catch lights, not easy to do with her facing in that direction

excellent...your photo "pop's" look at the other entrants... separate the ones that are candid shots and those that are models...yours is candid but yet engaging
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Nice lighting, it looks like its natural, but I really like highlights it creates on her head and arm. Nice colors too.

Fabulous dof, great skin luminosity, especially on her right forearm. Nice isolation of the subject against the bokeh background. You captured a real moment of inspiration and joy.
