Truly. You've captured a very strong emotional moment here, Arwa. Her smile is priceless and relieving. The use of wide angle somehow emphasize the intimacy between she and you. Very well done, congratulations!

Hello;
I remember her from when you gave her that Kit Kat bar (?). A good b&w photograph will intensify the joy, not eradicate it. A good b&w photograph distills the essence of the moment, and this one does both. Also I like the toning, almost gold. Excellent work!

I see where your coming from!
Your right its just that im proud of this pic, was hoping for an award so guessed maybe it would work better in black and white!!!
Its strange how one of the images im not too sure of got a staff choice while the one I think are good didn?t get any award!
Apart from the great award of having all my friends appreciating it!

What a wonderful smile and perspective. Very extra ordinary children photography. Specially like the way her eyes are lit up, they compliment her smile so wonderfully. Is that the photographer reflected in the eyes?

I love each of them and I honestly think you could go either way. The joy is still present in each version and both are simply fantastic. You really know how work with that fisheye. :)

I just love this little girl's expression, and the twinkle in here eye! I think the original of this was the first photo of yours that I commented on - a wonderful image! I have to say that I prefer the original, though. While this is nice, too, I think it's a bit too dark - both literally and in mood - and does somewhat contradict the joy in her face. A worthy experiment, though! :)

Hi Arwa,
Also in B&W it's perfect! It's what david says: "Removing the colour could never take away the joy in this face".
Take care!

Great image.. I like this image a lot.. and the color version is great also..but I am not sure about the tones.. a more pure b&w may work better than a sepia/antique look.. but having said that... this is an excellent capture and the title says it all....I keep looking at the girl's face and smiling..great work
