Thank you for stopping. Comments and critiques are appreciated.

... good work ...

Very nice, lovely expression, and excellent use of props and costume with a cute model.

The only criticism I could offer would be that I'd like to see a little more separation between the model and the background, a soft light from behind the child to define the edges might show shapes a little better or a gentle fill from camera right.

Oh yeah...very nice ! Everything about it! I did not even notice the banana because of those eyes! A great portrait! juan

Ahmet...David and Juan....thank you for the time and feedback. David...yes...it's a bit dark on the right. The kind of lighting I like is a bit tricky with the 2-3 year olds. There actually is a very soft fill over there but between my model being very busy and my blur layer...it gets a bit dark. I am not sure about the bg separation. The last time I compensated for the dark bg...I got the comment about needing to blend the subject into the bg more....sheesh! I guess I can't please everyone (>8...guess I will keep monkeying around...
