 Had fun with this one, my daughter did too she thought it was great that I was encouraging her to make a mess and eat her chalk. She had turned away from the light in this one so I had to do some spot editing to save it, still even though some other shots had better lighting, this one had the best expression and best represented my idea on this challenge. So I went with it and kept my fingers crossed.

now that the challenge is done I am really pleased with how this one did. I got 2 favorites which I hear is a great thing to get.
I knew the lighting was going to be a problem for some people going into the challenge, but if I had done a re shoot I don't think I would have got the same expression. So I went with it knowing I had a good photo but also knowing the lighting was wrong. One of those cases where I wish I had got it right the first time around, I think my score could have been much higher.

Nit picking but the focus seems a little off to me or it might need a bit of sharpening. Also the glass being cut off is a little distracting

Too cute! A little fill light (reflector maybe?) from the front and this would be pure gold!
