Wonderfull kid and wonderfull picture. I like old fashion colors. Great shot. ( I would crop it different, but realy it is not so important) Anton

Well there you go again at Cherub Central ... this one is exquisite! The eyes steal the show ... catch lights, black eyelashes and all ... not to mention the little mouth and nose set in peaches and cream face. I'm seriously looking for a pair of wings in the back of the picture! Like Anton says, there's a temptation to crop right up to the face ... but the out of focus arm and the black scarf trailing off to the right are not without their magic either! I think a close crop would intensify the angelic encounter ... but I think art is what you are all about. Another 7/7 from me.

Cheers

Absolutely breath taking! Very well done!!

Hugs, Becki~

Thank you Anton, Brendan and Becki.

Anton, I agree with you on the croping, I originally thought about a square crop (removing the forearm from the FG)... but Brendan you're spot on with your interpretation. I didn't want to loose the scarf and one could also see her arm as some sort of shield.

Now to set the record straight, Malen may look like an angel...but she's pure naughtiness!!!

... and I bet she gets away with mayhem!!!! Anyway I love naughty kids ... they are a load of fun! Especially other people's .... hahahahaha! Just keep the pics coming ... they're so special.

Like always...Beautiful!!

Unbelievably stunning image.

Just lovely, Jackie!

WOW...I sooo love your work. :O) This is beautiful

Beautiful, Jacqueline. I love the touch of wooly black near her pink face... The little bit of black makes the image pop. lauren
