Comment from Surmed
Its a nice tighter composition and very suitable for the contest, I can see some artifacts, maybe cause of resizing it. she looks so innocent and the look in her eye is priceless, nice helpfull notes too, Wish you all the best for the contest.

I will :)

Comment from CammyCards
Perhaps this is even more expressive than the whole face would have been. The focus here is really on the expression in her eye... which looks wary and sad. I think it would have been a shame to clone out the scratch, which I assume is not due to abuse. Nice work.

Thank you so much. I think so too. This version is the most expressive one. I'm so happy you like the scratch too. You are right it is not do to abuse but too playing in the jungle.

I like how this photograph is cropped. It brings interest to my eye, how you can only see a part of her nose and lips... and only one eye. Really nice. I think this photo would look neat black and white too, but it still looks appealing in colour

Thanks saraaah. I appreciate your generous review very much. Yes I think you are right with the black and white but I wanted to keep the beautiful color of the skin.

wow this is a good picture, i like how it is cropped on just her face. Great sharpness, and story . interesting that she may be part royalty, that would be cool

Beautiful capture.
The detail is very good.
The soft light helps to give a feeling of sweetness and dream like character.
She is so happy and proud her eye tell the story.
Great work.
