[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is a young african girl (5yrs) stayed with us from 1999 - 2001 and although coming from a traumatic background, she has recovered nicely and since left us.
I cannot remember the settings on the camera at the time of the photograph.

Being her saviour, the look in her eyes speaks a thousand words. Really great. Use of DOF is good, but I think it could have done with a bit more contrast - maybe just my screen? Might be levels. You obviously did a good job with her - she doesn't have the look of someone traumatized. It is great to have caring people in the world. Thanks for sharing.

this shot is good just to centered for my taste and a little soft.

Mark, What a winning smile! I have placed her beautiful picture in the theme folder entitled. "A Beautiful Child," as she truely is. Thanks for sharing and God's best to you, Tim

Great smile and very pretty girl. You did a great job capturing her.

You may have missed a little bit more sharpness - older picture & scan? - but the little girl is so adorable! And you really made a lovely & well framed portrait!

I like the DOF. Maybe the overall shot is a bit too balanced. The framing is nice. Also the collar of her shirt is making some weird pink reflections on her lower face. If that isn't the effect you wanted you could try selecting some of that area and using the replace color option of photoshop to bring back her natural skin color which is lovely.
