dawn duffield said (2 Feb 2010):
David! Thank you for the spotlight; you know I wish you had saved it...
Richard Knight (Deleted) gave props (2 Feb 2010):
What a photo! So many elements. The light, contrast, and textures to name three. :)
Litz Go gave props (2 Feb 2010):
This image and theme entry deserves a spotlight, DDD! If David did not do it, I'll do it and maybe the next and the next. This image deserves to be seen not only by your contacts. =)....... I hope everything will be well. Congratulations to the family.
Donald Garrett gave props (2 Feb 2010):
Perfection in all directions! What a sense of style and composition you have!

elfriede fulda gave props (3 Feb 2010):
Excellent, the expression not only of the child,but the entire image with the wall in the background does it for me Dawn
Debrah Leonard (Deleted) gave props (3 Feb 2010):
Dawn, this is timeless and masterfull.... I agree with Elfriede, the old textured wall as a background really sends it to the top.
Michael Ball gave props (3 Feb 2010):
Incredible!! Probably the best I've seen on here!!
Judy Wanamaker (Deleted) gave props (3 Feb 2010):
Sweet and eloquent! Beautiful toning. Great work, Dawn!
Richard Knight (Deleted) said (3 Feb 2010):
Came back for another look. I remember so well when we were preparing for Elizabeth's birth. Katherine was two. We were excited about having Lizzie join us, but we looked back on our two years with only Katie and realized that things would now be different. What a photo, Dawn.
Susan Littlefield gave props (3 Feb 2010):
Captivating shot! I love the tones and the processing, and agree with Elfie....the wall is perfect.
Gary Cole (Deleted) said (3 Feb 2010):
Superb photography!
Charles (Deleted) gave props (3 Feb 2010):
A terrific composition with mystery, texture, and intrigue. Excellent work!
stuart s gave props (3 Feb 2010):
What a brilliant shot. The colours, comp, subject and story all work so seamlessly. One of my favourites on the site. It should be showing up on the home page sooner or later.

Oh, Dawn, this is perfect in every way: Your composition, the lighting and texture, cropping and processing! Excellent job.
Howard Simpson gave props (4 Feb 2010):
Super catch. Nice work.
Rob Roy (Deleted) added a link (4 Feb 2010):
OUTSTANDING, Dawn! Hope you post the new baby’s photo! Image/title/caption “HOT” for theme! In the style of “Afghan Girl” [LINK], "the most recognized photograph" in the history of Nat’l Geo, where sea-green eyes captivate! Here it’s 1 sharply-focused eye (nicely contrasted… good work!), in which a dilated pupil is the inviting portal to her soul. The image needs not have a title or caption to engender broad UNIVERSAL appeal. She is ANY child—or “childhood” …and the soul is seen and interpreted uniquely by each viewer. If I were your PR agent, I’d get the parents to sign a release and market this MARVELous image! BRAVO!! (en.wikipedia.org)
Rob Roy (Deleted) added a link (4 Feb 2010):
We've ALL known for quite a while that... “Few on JPG can match Dawn’s ability to snap PPP’s [perfectly pleasing portraits] …Dawn not only has “the look” herself, but also has a knack for capturing it in others.” (jpgmag.com)
