[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Today I'm going back in time abit, to Jan. 2007. I met this beautiful little girl when we were both staying at a resort in Bohol. Although very serious here, she was really a character. I can't remember if she was 3 or 4 but she was gorgeous! I remember she carried a little stuffed monkey with her at all times. Yesterday (my day off) it was miserable and hailing and I looked back at this and decided to convert it to b&w. I hope you like it. I am SO SORRY...I messed up, this was NOT taken in Canada but in the Philippines on the island of Bohol!!

Cute and lovely. I think do not use any filter on the face. That will more powefull, Please dont mind. May be wrong.

Hi Karen; Beautiful portrait of this little girl. Love the whispy hair and the light in her big dark eyes.

Hi Karen,
The pose is priceless! Great idea to do it in Balck&White. The sharpness lacks a bit though, apparently you focused on the tip of her nose in stead of the eyes. The glance of her eyes is atad blurry. Nevertheless is the overall impression fine in my opinion. A nice posting Karen!

What a beauty and you captured it well Karen! Adorable child, those eyes!! I like BW for portraits, no distractions of color and shade! This is very nice!

Hello Karen
I like the fact that you converted this to mono as it really set off the eyes. A really pretty gal who was a good subject for portraits. Well done

dear Karen,
the human generally remembers obvious conscious memories from about 3 or 4 years old, I don't know she could remember to be taken this shot, but about me, I clearly remember my portraits when I was 3 or 4 years, even how I was taken and what feeling I was.
in my feeling, she is never smiling, she looks having something strange, and her eyes in the shadow express something sad. the sadness makes beautifulness after the adolescence, her feeling of sad seems pure loneliness to me.
thank you,
Akihisa

Hi Karen, she is a little sweetie. It's a lovely portrait of her, so serious but with a soft inquiring look in her eyes.
Well done

Hi Karen,
Wonderfully captured and composed. You've really have a good technique now in processing B/W portrait ... skin tone and contrast are excellent ... good tight cropping too. Well done! tfs
