she's only 11, am I in trouble or what?

please provide feedback on color and lighting, thanks!

Wonderful portrait! Beautiful sepia tone, great crop, just the right amount of shadow to give nice 3D effect. And to touch it off, excellent catchlights in the eyes. Kind regards, m. (8/8)

You're in big trouble for taking such a nice photograph! The lighting is great and although I'm not a fan of toning, it works here. I'm not 100% sure about cropping through the forehead. Nice to see some catchlights in the eyes, and the safe, diffused lighting really compliments the subject well. This is a tecnically competent and well taken photograph.

Very nice picture.

Very well done!Excellent portrait in all aspects:composition,lighting,contrast,tonal value...!I will like to see more of this kind of good portraits in this site.

Somehow this reminds me of a certain famous painting... There's something mysterious about that smile.

Very nicely done

There is definitely a maturity coming through those eyes. Also nice lighting and composition. I'm sure you'll enjoy photographing her through the years as she continually changes.

The photograph is beautiful and so is your sitter.

If she's going to give a lot of trouble, she can always make it up to you by letting you make some more pictures like this. I say she's worth some trouble!

beautiful¡¡¡

It's young women like this that keep me from wanting a daughter. I'm already loosing sleep. Very pleasing image. You know, I once saw my dad place his Remington 800 (12ga.) by the front door for a young man to see when he picked up my sister. Brought her home an hour early :-) 7 years later, they got married and lived happily ever after.

Yes; you are in trouble... and so am I.

Lovely portrait. Something I expected to see while flipping through a RollingStones mag. She is going to grow up into a beautiful lady.

If the comment is because the young lady is your daughter, then of course you are in for it. Speaking as the father of a daughter who has been described as drop-dead-gorgeous, I know whereof I speak. I could tell you lots of stories but there's no room here, beginning with her being sent home from school in 3rd grade for boys fighting over her. But now mine is a 27 yr old RN engaged to a firefighter/paramedic and every moment of that craziness when she was young is worth it many times over. When mine was a teen I once remarked to my wife that beautiful teenage daughters are God's revenge against men for us having sex with their mothers. Keep that in mind for the next ten years and good luck! Oh, BTW, it's a great photo and she'll give you many more chances over the years. My daughter learned to love being a photographer herself from staring at the business end of my lens so many times.

Trouble with a capital T. Great shot.
