Hi Rosalie,
Nice framing, it looks like a polaroid photo. Well composed for a close-up picture. Sharp. Well captured.

Hi Rosie!
What a smile! And as usual, what a funny note! Yes, Polaroid were very interesting camera. We were so used to wait before being able to see our photos! And then, with that Polaroid thing, suddenly that was almost instantaneous! Who could have think that many years later, we would try to do some Polaroid kind of shot with a DSLR! ;) Only our Rosiegirl can have a so nice idea and doing it the creative way!
Cheers!
Claire

That is wondrously good, Rosie, seriously. Perfect title for the mod you're conveying here, great color control and graduated DOF from face to face. A moment of pure joiy superbly captured.
Bravo!
Francis

Hi Rosie, a spontaneous, fun image. The way you've framed it is very effective & really goes well with your 'Polaroid' idea. Very much 'a moment captured' & at the same time it recalls a slightly different, though not entirely lost, style of photography.

Cropping and DOF are just right for this kind of feel. The stray hairs and crazy smile really do lend the picture that Polaroid feel of a quickly captured madcap moment. Nice one.

This is what photo is for: stopping the time that passes by too quickly, freeze the good moment of life. This photo is fresh & joyful.
Thanks, Alain -

Nice reminder of the polaroid era, Rosie!
I like girl's extatic expression and hair.
The joy of being photographed... or fear?!

A nice framing and good focus on the foreground face to blur the others. Nice color.

Hi Rosalie,
I love the way you've framed this shot!! It is indeed a polaroid moment!! My Dad and my niece each have one that they treasure. My favorite pic of my son & me is a shot my Dad took with his polaroid. Of your excellent critiques above, Alain has said it best, "This is what photo is for: stopping the time that passes by too quickly, freeze the good moment of life. This photo is fresh & joyful."
Regards, Pat
