I don't like the rings but the work is beautiful, not to mention the cute factor is off the chart.

LOVE the lighting and DOF on this. I'm going to check this after the challenge for more details!

With a more traditional and subdued catch light, this would have been a sure fire 10 from me. You have captured such a delightful expression. However, the ringlight flash catch-lights completely dominates the portrait, and my eyes constantly draw back to them; they seem so much at odds with the soft delicateness of the photo.

Back to edit typos, and to bump to 7. I adore ebvery aspect of this photo - with the exception of those darn lights!!! The ring-flash has given the most gorgeous, even, lighting to the photo - difficult one.

The rings spoil an otherwise very pretty portrait, IMO. Very distracting.

Mesmerizing. Hypnotic even. An out-of-the-box portrait which I like.

Makes perfect sense and it's a truly satisfying child portrait.

Oh that is wonderful. I love the DOF and light. It's gorgeous. The ring light really makes it doesn't it? Like magic. 8

That is definitely different. Nice effect.

Beautiful portrait, catching an intriguing expression. The catch-eye lights make her eyes look strange and steals from this otherwise beautiful image ...
