Very nice, even if I prefer the BW shot you posted some time ago. Here the girls makes the shot, there is the other way around.

On a personal taste note, I like less naked kids photos ...

wonderful creation ! cheers Jana

impressive shot, excellent colors, great concept and body language,

 

excellent shot Jacqueline

What a expression, nice work

Innocence and decadence make for a fascinating combination. The mind (at least my mind) goes through a series of curious possibilities. The slightly blue white balance adds a bit of otherness.

I love it!

This shot has many interesting and almost haunting qualities. The background creates a great environment for the shot. You have done a wonderful job of capturing her eyes. The soft lighting does a good job of shaping her face and shoulders. There is also a sad feeling in this shot with a lack of warmth - artistically probably what you want, but I would like a sense of life or warmth in her. Well done. - Charles

nice work

Jacqueline,

 

What a beautiful little girl. You have focused very well on her eyes. Her skin tone is very good. She has good eye contact with the camera (viewer). I love her angelic, innocent expression. The almost split lighting works very well. You have just enough fill to define her shape in the dark background. The color saturation and contrast is very good. She is separated well from the background. The background is nicely out of focus.

 

I love the lights in the background, but I do not love the rectangular (box or chair?) on her right just behind her. I also do not like the diagonal crease in the background from the lower left going up through her hair and continuing to the top of the frame. These draw attention away from your subject.

 

Just a personal thing, but I don't like peacock feathers. This has nothing to do with the quality of your shot.

 

I think I would prefer a vertical format and a little less headroom. That's a lot of space above her. I would move her to her left just a little. Your subject should have more room in front of her than behind. This allows her to be facing into the picture, not out of it. You want to compositionally balance the left and right sides of the photograph. The compositional "rule" for this suggests that you position the tip of the subject's nose in the vertical center of the photograph.

 

I sure would like to see her with catch lights to make her eyes come alive.

 

This is a wonderful portrait, Jacqueline. I don't know where you are from, but in the U. S. this probably would have had to be taken by a female. Any male who shot it, even if it was his own daughter, would have some explaining to do to the authorities. I live in a very strange puritanical country where evil is expected everywhere. I congratulate you.

 

Nice shot,

Beautiful portrait Jacqueline. Mark and the others have already said most of what i would have to say. I find her expression somewhat sad and moving as if she is imploring for help. This makes the photo both compelling and troubling. Regards - michel

A very good artistic work. I would like to see some kind of life in those innocent eyes.

Lovely photo and great edition.

wonderful presentation. it seems there are some soft light tones to this which really give it an 'angelic' feel. a good portrait often requires the photographer to capture the essence of their subject. I think you have achieved this well. my compliments

Excellent!! BRAVO!!

wonderful model :)
