Great work Sonifo. This was my top pick for the challenge. The perfect balance of studio control and candid, non-posed subject. (I was pretty sure this was yours when during voting - it has your touch all over it.) |

| Just wonderful.. subject is placed well in the frame, pink highlights give it a hand-colored feel, high key provides a softness that matches the subject. One of my ribbon picks. |

Very nicely done high key portraiture. You are a little over exposed, expecially in her dress but it isn't too distracting.

| An absolutely outstanding portrait. The "rule" is that the eyes make a portrait, but this is one of those cases where breaking the rules (not showing her eyes) really works. Excellent! I bet she gets her good looks from her mommy, too! |

| Of course this is the winner! Everything is just perfect. I love the hand colored look, remember when we did it with inks? the light is lovely but that shadow along the back of her face, neck, arm is exquisite. 10 |

Lighting: Very nice, even and well balanced, light that is giving wonderful skin tones. However, there is a touch of over-exposure in the crown and lower-left gown and the harsh shadow under the chin is not flattering.
Pose: Near perfect. The only think I could recommend would be to raise her head just a bit (diminishing the shadow) and placing her left hand on her lap. On a related note, the tip of her wand seems to be outside your DOF or blurred from motion and is quite distracting from an otherwise well posed shot.
Background: Not much to say about the background. A very (very) light shade of pink would have kept with the theme better, but would have provided much less separation. |

This little girl is an angel and you captured it perfectly. I'll be very surprised if this doesn't ribbon. Good luck! |
