BEAUTIFUL….......Did you enhance her eyes or are they that gorgeous?
Rachel Leigh replied
Her eyes are very reflective and are soooo easy to photograph. Both her parents have beautiful blue eyes… her mom’s are very strikingly blue so they’re naturally brillant. :)
The photo as a whole has been clarified and brightened so am sure that helped too.

Rachel Leigh replied
Thank you Janine!
Cheri Perry
What a beautiful little girl. She is adorable and those eyes are going to draw so many young men in some day… :) She is a beautiful girl. I love the composition of this. Good work
Rachel Leigh replied
Thank you so much Cheri! She gets alot of attention right now. She has a little sister and sometimes I feel sorry for the littler one because people make a big deal over her sister right in front of her and ignore her. She’s cute too but just not as striking. She’ll probably grow up with a complex… aw.. hope not!
Cheri Perry
I certainly hope not, she deserves to be a model or something…she has beautiful features.
HeatherTS

Gorgeous! Congratulations on being top ten, actually on the 5th place, I am not surprised. I am just surprised that you didn’t got higher, the last I saw your scores were 16 votes, so I wonder if the first winner got 17, all the others got 16 with you? But anyway, I don’t try to figure that out. :)
Rachel Leigh replied
Yeah, I dont try to figure that out either haha. :) Thank you for the congratulations!
