A very nice shot of this beautiful little lady.

I like the idea, the B&W works well although I find the little splash of pink colour rather spoils it. Is it a picture about poverty or not? She seems well dressed. If it is a picture of a pretty girl then you really need to be at her level. You are looking down on your subject as though in passing. It would, in my view, have been better if you had kneeled or squatted down to be at her face level to get the shot and used a low aperture to blur out the background.

This is an example of what I mean.

Lovely little lady. I like the B&W/color effect. I would suggest that you stoop to her level to photograph her rather than shooting down on her. It would make a more interesting photo. Other than that it's a nicely done image.

Great idea. Beautiful subject. You filled the screen with your subject. I agree with Russ though most of the time it is a, no no to shoot down on your subject. One other minor point, you cut her foot off. Great job and thanks for sharing.

Beautiful pic! Nice use of color in black and white. Check out a pic in my gallery called "Ageless" that uses similar technique. Keep it up! I just got this in the comments box, and reccomended it to the Art Council. Have an awesome day!

It's a very nice presantation. Perhaps the b/w is expresses the real live of the child. In some cultures, such as the US, pink is the color of little girls. So Danielle, your pink i photo means a lot for the future life of the child, feeling with hope.

Saw this in the VB - wow! Excellent work, the pink against the B&W certainly caught my eye.

Very true, we are spoiled. Yet someone with very little can be so completely content with their lot in life. makes a person feel selfish.
