A very nice and impressive portrait shot presented here! She looks genuinely excited and pleased. Exposure and sharpness are good. Well done!

A very special day! Great picture of the little lady with her hands in the taught praying position and cute smile. I like the cropping and the background showing a little bit of the wooden pews. Good photograph.

A classic portraiture with a soft overtone.

Dramatic illumination with a retro feel.
Vignette lends an antiquated look.

Best of luck in the contest!
Thanks for sharing...

Think you captured a special moment meg and she has a nice smile,however that black vignette does it no favours,you probarly done that because of people to close to her in this,have done that myself,however think I would have opted for a whitish one in this...brian

She doesn't look as though she is too thrilled about the ceremony. The light on her face is quite contrasty and the vignette might be dialed back some. Best of luck in the contest.

A beautiful day for her. Her expressian seemed to signify it. A smart idea of using vignette to avoid distraction. Focus is good.

Well done and thanks for sharing.

Oh yes, the beauty and innocence shine on her face! She is such a lovely child and looks so eager to receive her First Communion. How very beautiful. The background is perfect to make her shine. Great work!
