Not the typical landscape or iconic landmark but I really like the way it turned out. Daughter missing Mom or Dad.

Hopefully the voters are nice about a postcard with a face.

My goal with this one was to score a 5.5 with a "out of the box" postcard submittal. I was thinking that not all postcards are vacations or happy scenes. Some may be travelling for other reasons such as serving our military overseas or a work trip away from home. Either way this would represent that type of postcard. This pic says to me that a daughter misses her Dad while he is away and Mom bought the postcard and sent it to Dad wherever he may be.

Thanks for comments and votes.

Love the photo but wouldn't chose this for a postcard. She looks like she's distracted or frustrated.

intense eye, but that's it for me

This is a great portrait shot, but definitely doesn't have postcard type appeal.

As a portrait I think you've done a great job here, the focus is great, and I think you have the DOF just right. The lighting, especially the darker background is well done.

I am however only giving this a 5, and that's because I'm basing my voting for this challenge on how likely I would be to buy this as a postcard. It would be lower if it wasn't such a great shot otherwise.

Very baeutiful portrait. The eyes look amazing with the reflections in them. That being said, "Where is here?" Doesn't really say postcard to me.

Very nice image and the complimentary font and color are perfect. A very different concept than the submissions so far - out of the box thinking and the author has done a great job conveying the impression of longing. Well done.

Wishing you were where? To me this is really not a post card but more of a type of greeting card. The child is cute tho.

Beautiful composition,DOF & colors. A slight more light may have looked even better.
