Very cool idea and well executed. I love the textures of the wheat. Your colors are great and you did a good job keeping detail ni the white dress. I wish the horizon didn't cut through their heads, especially with the three line back there. Maybe a lower camera position would have worked better, putting more wheat in the foreground and having their head and shoulders above the horizon.

These little guys are tough to catch! Well done. Beautiful bokeh.

This is a lovely execution of a classic newborn shot. You captured a great expression on the little one. I love the tones of your b/w conversion. I think this would have been better lit with the main light camera right. Then, the light would not be coming from 'below' the baby's face, it would sweep across his face from the top down. Your shadows would fall beneath the chin and below the nose where they should be, instead of above the nose and lip as they are here.

Very cute. Nice softness to the colors and lighting. I wish her hands were not chopped off.

A wonderful angle for a sleeping newborn. So many photographers get a sort of 'up-the-nose' angle on babies lying down. Great DOF and wonderful shrpness in the face. I love the fist curled up by the face. So sweet. This seems cool and a tad underexposed, though.

I like the high key look here, but the lack of catchlights in her dark eyes (except for the pin-light flash) really hurts the image. Try putting her nearer to a window and watch for light in the eyes before you shoot. I like that you got down on her level for this shot. You captured a great little girl expression. You have a lovely little model.

I think this would look cool with even more space to the right and below the caterpillar. Nice sharpness and colors.

The lighting is great here. Very moody and dramatic. I would have toned down the brightness of the helpmet just a bit. I realize it is a major element in the image, but it really competes with his face. His expression is what really tells the story.

Stunning! Like a painting. The lighthouse light is sublime and I love the sillohuetted trees on the horizon. The clouds conspired with you. I like the oblique line that the clouds make leading the eye to the lighthouse.

I love the intensity of the expression that you captured here. Although it kind of breaks a rule, I like the flyaway hair cutting through her eye. It sheilds her a little from the viewer and makes the moment seem more private. This is very nice and sharp and I like your b/w conversion. Compositionally, I would like more room beneath her chin and maybe a little more room to the left. It would make her eyes less centered and give her some space to 'look into'.

Your daughter is beautiful. Very nice shot!
