Beautiful pose, which works with the lighting to create the correct shadows and tonality on her face and body.

I would love to see the tree cropped more since it's out of focus, anyway. Instructors have often suggested to me that anything in the foreground should be sharp, rather than soft. If the tree were sharp, I suggest you may have a prize winning portrait. #8611270

What a lovely grandaughter you have. You skillfully captured her beauty. I particularily like the softened effect you acheived around the edges.

Excellent work Merna. #8646624
