Happy Birthday Gayle,

Very nice thought Marija for this special lady and a great photo, there is a great sentimental mood coming out of this photo, the expression is really great and she looks very happy. I like the desaturation around the flower. Very well done.

Marija! What a wonderful birthday gift (it's more than a card)! Nadia is so beautiful here... and she let you take her picture!!! She is eerily like a younger version of her mother... I saw a mother and daughter at a festival a few days ago who reminded me so much of you two. And there's my Little Prince too!

Why am I crying?! Bless you, Marija. Hugs and kisses to both of you. I love you soooo much.

Gayle :******) :)))

Very captivating image Marija. It makes me relax and smell the flower(s). Technically superb and it illicits the emotional response necessary for a great image.

Selective desat does a great job of softening the presentation. I like it. Much better than selective BW.

Hello Maria, and happy birthday Gayle! Thx Maria for telling us :)

Very well done! wow! What a great portrait this is! So sharp. I love the monochromatic tone here and only the flower that has colour.

Great work and what a lovely model you have. She has such a nice smile :)

Very sweet image. What a lovely child you have. She's following mom's steps and will become as lovely as you are.

I know you like constructive critiques so here it is:
If I may, did the flash go by it self of you planned it that way? Have you tried without?
@ 52mm you might be to close to use the flash (unless you can bounce it)
I do like the overexpose effect creating a almost porcelaine look but the picture can use more depth/dimention. Portrait are quite a challenge but the essence is to capture the expression/mood and you did it soo well.
