Hi there,

It seems to be working fine for me.

I think it's really good. I love the expression on her face and her eyes are beautiful. Looks great.

I love the way the sunlight is lighting up the netting on her dress. You really captured the beauty of her eyes. I would have liked to seen her hands a little further down her chin. That being said, if you can get a child to be still for a photograph, you've done well. It's really very pretty.

Must be FF. I've enabled every script for this page and I still don't see it. I can open it in IE and see a link for at attachment though.

As to the picture itself, if I look at it in IE, it's a cute picture. The ony thing I don't like is that her tutu is blown out.

[Bonstar78]

Thanks! I really appreciate your responses

I agree with the blown out tutu.

That's a really nice photo.. You should be really pleased..

The Tutu is blown out.. Perhaps you could have knocked the exposure down a stop to prevent that, and the girls eyes are about half way up the photo, which perhaps isn't quite what we've been taught about the rule of thirds.. If you crop to the top of her hair it cuts out a lot of the superfluous background and puts her eyes near the top 1/3 mark.. But I like this photo a lot, so really I'm just looking for fault that I wouldn't have noticed if you weren't looking for critique. Well done.
