Judges comment: I love the cropping in this work, it elevates it from the typical child portrait that we usually see and focuses our attention on the face rather than the head. The other thing that works so well is the slight tilt from the horizontal which animates and enlivens the glance. Finally, the soft focus and skin tones contrast beautifully with sharp area of the knitted cardigan
