Lovely facial colours and interesting how the eyes contain some ginger too. I wonder if the latter will persist as she ages. Reactions from M and N?

This one. I like the orb shifted to the right a bit, allowing the flowery branch to occupy more of the stage, especially the two mauvy backlit hairy ones lower left.

Brilliant. Love the essentially duotone character and the flower is sublime with its glow, subtle focus shifts and the edge highlights on the five end doovers.

No my uncles' cat named Sapphire.. Should have noted that.

Yeah processing for sure and probably to do with the Kodachrome hald clut I threw on there in RT. I'll have to go back and inspect at some point based on your feedback... Wasn't paying close attention and was just going for something generally filmic... Will let you know what I find... I probably don't ever notice this stuff because I process in Gimp/Nik after resizing to 2560x1440 during my RT output and from there am viewing on my 32" monitor at that resolution so those artefacts are not showing on my screen at any point after that RT output.

I was aggressive with the processing for sure. I kept it fast shutter because I knew I had to take the shot fast while moving in the line. Thought f4 gave me better chance for getting the look of a good focus while not being able to aim on anything and not wanting to take the time to check my snap focus setting etc.....
