Emotion-packed presentation. Love the eyes especially and her skin. I personally would have liked to see a bit more of the face, but just my opinion

amazing light on her eyes and amazing expression on her face and yes, it is very unfair that she has to work so hard while other spend mony on nonsenses

You know the sad stories here is downright disheartning.

The focus is excellent, and so much is on her face. 5 is still a baby and she carries a big adult load.

Thanks, It is a very sad story.

Great initial impact.Very impressive to capture her to get the message.A sad one at that.Great focus and lighting capture with good clarity.Close up at this angle adds interest and is highlighted well with good blur to background.Good job and good luck.Thank you.
