My favorite part of baking! She has a great pose and the soft lighting works well. The background, although realistic, is a bit distracting.

Simply darling. I don\'t think there is a kid alive that can resist the bowl and spoon when done. All the stuff in your backround is distracting try and shoot with a little less clutter and it will improve it.

cute shot... the lighting is a bit harsh.

Interesting take on the challenge! I love how she is trying to put the spatula in her mouth up & down instead of sideways. Nice choice to go B/W The focus seems a little soft though. Did you do this on purpose? The DOF should be (IMHO) a little tighter or the cropping. The stuff in the background and to her right is very distracting. You took this at work didn't you. Where do you cook?

She's cute and obviously enjoying herself, but the background is very distracting.

Definately something we can all relate to, I'm sure. The background bothers me here. It's crooked and angled. Not enough to be dramatic, but rather just looks like you weren't paying attention to lining up your background, which unfortunately makes it look like more of a snapshot. Which is ok too. I have plenty. lol. I wonder how this would have come out if your angle were just a bit lower. It looks a little more planned if we get down to the kids level and take the shot straight on. Focus looks good, and lighting also looks ok. ~Heather~

Nice candid shot !

They do love the cookie dough, don't they! My girls used to actually stick their heads in the bowl to lick it, what a mess! :)

This is a lovely shot, a very big part of the baking/cooking process, having the kids involved and teaching them. I like the cropping, the picture looks a bit skewed, slightly off balance, I thnk it's the way te floor flows through the shot. The B&W works well with this shot, helps keep the background from becoming too distracting. A tad more sharpness, contrast and balance overall and I would score this much higher. Starting at a 5 but I will be back, I too cannot resist cookie dough.

Nice capture, evokes memories. I like the black & white tone, it helps calm the shot down. I find it a bit busy with all the items in the background - but the coloring helps diffuse that. Your model is adorable and the lighting looks good. A little more focus on the face, rather than the dress would've appealed to me more but overall its a good shot! 7

Cute little girl.

It's a cute shot, but I'm not sure it has a lot of artistic value. The background seems to be awfully cluttered; the same shot with a pure black background would probably do really well -- as it is, it just seems a little "snapshot-ish."

This brings back the memory of licking the bowl after mixing the chocolate. Interesting take on the subject. Pretty good contrast. Looks like she's definitely enjoying the aftermath of the mixing.
