I am never done such portraits and am not able to criticise or give advise.
It looks pretty.
But what my eye noticed and I do not like is how the heavy ear-ring draws out the ear.... At the same time these fit her. The white on the ear-rings goes with the lip-gloss and soft shine on the skin.
Highlights on the nose are maybe really too "visible"

I have never took interest where and how can be submitted to the PPG. Is it limited somehow...etc.
The pics there seem to be on a level not reachable....
But the judges - it is the same as with anykind of comments You just get some idea how different people see your work.
It may turn your attention to sth that you didnt come on before... but it may also make you even more sure about the fact that YOU are right (for example when you totally disagree with their opinion)

You succeeded, Mike !
I agree 100% with David
You don't need a better figure walking past, the old guy with the stick is the perfect subject for a juxtaposition shot with the shop model.

All the reflections are on their places as well

And all the best to the mother and child!
PS.
When the first baby laughed for the first time,
the laugh broke into a thousand pieces and they all went skipping about,
and that was the beginning of fairies.

I like when some color is still remained. But it is more peaceful - the virtue of BW.

While deciding (two years ago) I was between Oly (510) and K10D.
If I could have afforded (or thought it sensible) myself Oly E-3 and the Pro zoom lenses plus macro...ok, that was my dream. But not sensible.
I still think Oly has got excellent optics ! ( I do not have a bunch of primes or lenses at all. just two zooms. In this sense Oly choices would have been good for me)
But in general the cameras are equal. My decision was greatly influenced by wish to not be afraid of every raindrop.
But I sometimes get unpatient when 10d keeps hunting for the focus. And it is out of it finally anyway. Sometimes I cant make it even with tripod and manual focusing. I still do not understand is it my eye or camera who is playing tricks.
But I do not have any experience with other DSLR-s.
