Nice! That's the kind of shot that even the subject will like...even if not until he's older. I think the bright light in the center of the eyes is harsh. I'll hope that some of the other voters gave you a solution for it, and I'll look for it after the challenge is closed. Luck!

Another person in doggy fur! A complicated shot, well done. I think it would be preferable to have the missing forepaw in the picture, however.

Great way to express character! Expertly done. (And I'm sure she's a really nice person--but I wouldn't go messin' with her!)

Pleasant. I like the lighting on this and the posture of the hand is great. Nice casual portrait.

Her eyes

There's obviously a great deal of thought put into the making of this portrait. The high key is interesting. I don't think the selective toning works--it makes the hair somewhat green and unbalances the eyes. The complexity of the room reflected in her right eye also doesn't add.

Awesome idea! I think you'll discover different takes on this--perhaps making the projected image with a seperate expression. You look so clever in the color shot!

got twins?

Cute! You must like to be hard on yourself, trying to do two at once! I'm guessing its motion blur that causes the twin on the left to be slightly fuzzy? Lighting could be softened somewhat to prevent the harsh lights in the eyes (or you could photoshop them out)--just that they look a little like deer in headlights, I'm afraid.

Nice color and lighting--the all important elements in a portrait. I'm afraid the glove blends a bit too much with the background. Perhaps a soft light placed behind her would have brought up the edge details.

Whoa! Nice strong portrait! I don't think the lighting, color, expression, anything! could be improved here. Superior!

An unusual choice for this challenge. Quite a trick to get the cat to cooperate, I'm sure. A bit too soft for my tastes, though.
