Lovely Portrait Celia….the soft colours really make this into an excellent Photo!!..if we hadn’t been told, the Image would have us asking “what is she thinking about”

beautiful!!!! the candid shots usually come out the best.

great shot and love the weay the scarfs give the photo a natural softness and again her eyes say 1000 words they are amazing she is so lucky

OOh beautiful! Great job using the DS to get her to get that look! Did you use natural light or flash or artificial lighting? Just curious.

Can you tag this with p101portrait? Thanks!

Beautiful image!

Your work just keeps getting better Celia, if that’s at all possible. This is an amazing shot, she has that deep look of concentration, and like Dave says, her eyes say a thousand words, well done my friend

Beautiful shot !

She definately looks like she is in gaming land ! she really does’nt even look like she knows your taking the shots ! love the light in this one looks great

Wow Celia, I really LOVE the tones and lighting in this, and your composition with the scarves is beautiful and engaging. Don’t know what you did, if anything, to get the soft look while retaining detail, but it looks great.
Nice work!!

Fantastic Celia – really does look fantastic.

Gorgeous !

I really like this! Love the lighting and the scarves give it a lovely warmth/color. Great work! Her features are starting to look more mature… growing up on us!

excellent work well done on this one

Once again, you did great Celia! The image has a soft and tender quality, almost dreamy, although she is far from dreaming! :-)

This is beautiful Celia. She is a lovely girl and has those amazing eyes and the scarves and natural lighting give a real softness to the photo.

Gorgeous and ethereal Celia, wonderful shot :o)

Lovely candid shot. Enjoyed the little story that went with this

No, I havent added anything lately :) Hibernating for the winter, lol. Actually I have had a couple weddings and trying to work on those photos and get them ready to mail off. Thanks for asking! Rachel

It is a beautiful portrait! the soft colors of the scarves and her blond hair are the makings of a princess story!! beautiful skin tones in the natural light.God Bless,Mae

just beautiful ~ xx

Great image, very nice work

This is so stunningly gorgeous – what a doll and you nailed the shot!!

Yes, I needed something bright and sunny

I’d trade him for a daughter to shoot that is as reflective and soulfull as yours. What a treasure. I enjoy shooting my boys but it’s not the same as girls. :-)

Wonderously delicate shot and colours
almost an other worldly look
bravo

I think this works beautifully. Great light & colours & love her expression too.
