Chinese doll IV(updated)

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Jim

#1 - excellent photograph not just for the focus but the sad look on the face

#2 - the focus on the bubble is spot on - excellent

#3 - Creamy bokeh along with that look makes for an excellent portrait

#4 - love it - but where do they poop :)

#5 - the face says it all

#6 - the beautiful bokeh on the bubbles makes this a standout photo

Love number 1 the most. Number 2 also with the concentration on her face looking at the bubble

A question...do you actually know the little girl? or is it just random pic in a park?

ps. If I was the parent of the little girl and saw her pic posted on the internet I would not be happy....just my 2cents :wink:

As these pics are totally innocent I would be proud as punch if she were my child and someone had posted the pics up.

Don’t let the insidious nature of perverts turn our minds from the innocence of childhood and the true beauty it can show us all. :wink:

Thanks for your support, I think all the parents are willing to see the beautiful sides of their kids show to all the people. Beautiful pics, why not show to us, right? it is not for business purpose, just share the fun, right?
