There isn't much more to say Mike. I especially like the lighting on her face. Ann C

Simply amazing (I agree with all the things mentioned below).
You have too thank you niece however, she managed to sit perfectly still for 2 seconds, something my kids never manage to do ! Hewy.

Beautiful shot, Mike. Personally, I'm not fond of the frame but, the image is superb!
I would love to have tried this with reflective (mylar) gift wrap! :-) Mark J

what a wonderful image fitting for the holiday season. the little girl in red looks like she's holding the shining christmas spirit (or something... i was never good at symbolism). it's a great picture!

oh this is beautiful mike. this image evokes such wonder, joy and peace - a perfect holiday message ;) fine work! i love the soft light on the girl's face, and you've managed a tricky exposure very, very well. -- andy
