So special. We are so fortunate and take such advantage of it without realizing what others go through. Her face says it all. The lack of smile. You have captured her reality. The lighting is great, focus great and storytelling great.

She is a beautiful child, but looks so sad and strained. Too bad. Focus is very good. Framing is well done. Thanks for the great story.

Comment from Polly Brown
She's a pretty little girl.
Beautiful dark eyes that look full of anguish. Too much responsibility for such a young age.
Nice photograph and good luck in the contest.

Comment from RedRockArt
This is an illustration of a good Photograph. Some might say the range could be improved, there is too little or too much contrast, but it is really great for this image, if anything can be perfect, you achieved it.
Biggest problem for artists, is making their art in a photograph, look its best, you have done well, would not change a thing.
As Ansel Adams or Edward Weston and many others have said, "80% of really Great images are created in darkrooms." Today, they would be saying in Lightroom or Photoshop and you have an example of good post processing.
About 90% of the images we see in FanArt could be improved with a course in Post Processing, sometimes only a tiny alteration, can make a dramatic difference... Lynda.com has one that I really like.
Happy to enjoy one that is in the top 10%. :)
Overall, you accomplished something very good. The highlights, middle tones and shadows, in Maya are very good. The focused attention and highlights in her eyes give it impact. Probably they could not be improved.
This fits my "personal taste" and others might not like it, but Id not change it due to negative comments. If we do, then the ones who like it, will not. We cant please everyone, so its best to just please ourselves.

Comment from Echo7
This is excellent. These eyes could tell a million stories. Piercing. Good bokeh. Good focus on eyes. Cropped very well. Brilliant lighting. This is an excellent example of documentray photography. Well done
