Judges Comments

Over the years this image in the family Album is going to give the little girl and her family much pleasure of a special moment. As a competition piece you may like to crop away a little of the bottom area and a little of the left side allowing the hand to lead the eye into the scene, the catchlight in her eyes and expression I think may become strong focal points conveying the "Red Riding Hood Fights Back" particularly if the background is blurred and darkened so that the shadow on the curtain and curtain pattern are no longer noticeable. The little girls facial expression, mouth and eye details are quite lovely and I really would love to see these given more prominence. Well done for capturing a special moment.
