Portrait of a Young Girl

I've seen so many wonderful portraits on the site and wanted to challenge myself to create one. Thanks is due to my patient granddaughter this morning. And it fits the February f-word challenge: face

Another shot, focusing only on her eyes (also inspired by many wonderful examples on the 365 site) is at http://365project.org/taffy/the-also-ran-ph/2013-02-17

[Kerri]

Beautiful portrait

[Dawn Reilly]

beautiful focus and composition

[Paul "Snapchap" Everest]

A very beautiful portrait. So contemplative.

[Michelle Dunn]

Love the softness of her expression

[David Price]

This is a lovely capture & the eye shot is great too. I find portraits very difficult & good on you for challenging yourself.

@kwind @kerristephens @sunshinephoto5 @steampowered @shelldunn @david68 @jonfrank @timpryorphoto Thanks so much for you kind comments! Jon -- I'm glad it conveyed her sweetness. Paul -- she is a pretty contemplative kid so I'm glad that came through.

@dauber Thanks!

Very nice portrait Taffy, the limited focus works well here.

[Taffy]

@automaticslim Thanks -- and she's enough of a ham to be willing to keep posing, which is fortunate for me.

[Gerry Duffy]

Ah, championship!

[Sean O'Neill]

Lovely angles and soft focus Taffy.
