Judges' comments:
Nice, diagonal tilt; pleasant expression; good skin tones; hair and green shirt go well together; would nudge the crop up a bit giving more head room
Maker's notes:

This image was shot in my home studio using two Canon 430 EX II flashes with umbrellas.  The key light was on camera right (48") set at twice the power of light on camera left (48").  Camera was mounted on a tripod 6' from subject.  Subject was 5' in front of a unlighted white background.  Lens was a Canon 18-135mm set to 59mm,  Exposure mode was Manual. Settings were f/8, 1/160th sec., ISO 800.  Subject was lifted from the background using Topaz AI mask.   Background was inserted in Photoshop CC.
