I love the image but the finger print is very distracting.

Since you asked...I like this one the best out of the three.

david,
I agree about the fingerprint, sorry. I really screwed this scan up. I carelessly scanned the back side of the film and so also have neuton rings, although they seemed not to show up.
I'll clean the neg before printing.
Thanks for looking,
Marc

I am not crazy about the composition, i.e. the distracting wall corner in the background, but i really like the expression- the most "engaging" of the group.

Although I like the way the background seems softer in #3, I think that overall this is a more successfuk image. Neither arm is cut off, her knee is in a better position (i.e. less distracting ) than in #3 and I like portraits in which the subject is looking at the camera/viewer. All that having been said, however, I cannot help but think that her mother would be delighted with any of the three.

This one. No question. I had to look again when someone mentioned thumb prints. I was so drawn to her face and its expression and her postured.

You can probably fix the finger print somehow, but it's not much of a distraction really, this is a beautiful photo. In my opinion the other 2 don't measure up to this one.

I like the eye contact. Tonality on all three is good.
