Dag Gerrit,

De ogen en de mond zijn hier de aantrekkingskracht van dit jong meisje op de foto.
Hoe moeilijk het licht ook was, met de gele kledij op de zwart huid, toont u ons toch een prima portret.
Mooi gedaan en bedankt aan uw poserend model.

Prettig weekend,
John.

Hi Gerrit

A good portrait, with excellent dof, colour & sharpness (especially around the eyes, where it counts). Have a good weekend!

Hello Gerrit,
You captured well the soft and serene expression of this fillete. A beautiful decorated image of colors sharp. Good realization.
Have a nice day
Cordially

Hi Gerrit,
very pleasant facial expression in a good portrait. I like this natural impression and the soft smile in her eyes. But it is a bit less from the uniform I think.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

Bonjour Gerrit,
un sourire naturel et très accrocheur sur ce portrait où le seul petit défaut serait la surexposition des vêtements jaunes. Mais je devine les éclairages piègeux.
Best regards.
Daniel.

Hello Gerrit
Il est lumineux ce portrait!!
De très belle couleurs et une regard complice avec la gamine, c'est effectivement un portrait tout en douceur qui purrait faire penser à Mona Lisa
Du bon travail, amicalement

Fantastic portrait with stunning colors. You did such a great work here. Congratulations!

Hi Gerrit... you've captured her special expression, in superb sharpness and light... nice colors in her clothes and back there... congrats, Daniel

Hi Gerrit,
A superb portrait with brilliant expression, she looks so cute ! you have some overexposure on the right yellow part, something you can reduce well if you have a RAW file.
Have a nice week end JY

Hi Gerrit,
She has nice expression and direct glance into the camera, and also a typical hairdo, the light on her face is very good ( a bit bright on the yellow uniform) and sharpness is OK.
Good portrait.

Um lindo retrato desta garotinha de olhos grandes "amendoados". Bonitas cores e detalhes do cabelo.

Dear Mr. da Vinci,
finally after many centuries we get you back with a modern interpretation of your old and static work in the Louvre. Perfectly understandable that it took you so long to find a new model. Such smiles and look are once in many centuries. ;-)
Very nice colors framing the face, although the lower portion with the yellow is overexposed and would need some additional work to balance it out.

A lovely shot of this young lady with lots of life in her eyes. The smile is a perfect Mona Lisa. My only suggestion would have been to have the centre line run through her right eye to provide an off centered look.

I like your portrait. Good composition. Very nice and beautiful girl. It's a wonderful shot.
Best wishes,
Achim

Gerrit,
Very nice portrait, and this smile is actually the same as Mona Lisa's :o)
Nice job, great exposure,

Wow what a charming portrait of this lovely young lady with such a warm smile as her yellow dress is so wounderfully complimented by the muted blue background. She looks quite happy about her impending journey to school.

Hi Gerrit. She must be her parents' pride and joy judging by the amount of time and care it must have taken for the coiffure. Beautiful glow on her little face, both in terms of light and her own personality. Regards. Klaudio.
