Very cool background. I think you could add drama by cloning her eyes a smidgin, and removing scratch. Overall, great image.

Father and Son

Gorgeous. I wonder if some of the negative space on the left was cropped out, and the light was brighter, if it would make it more dramatic. Its very cute, and nicely done. One other thing I noticed, is right where Father and Son's hands meet it seems to have some transparent stripes running horizontally.

I studied this for a while, and there might be two things, very very minor, but...something I noticed.

One, on the babies left eye there is a hint of red in the reflection, just barely but noticiable. Two, you may be able to dodge the eyes to make them a shade brighter.

Very much well done, I like it quite a bit. Its very cute, and it seems you really nailed the light. The image is very clean, and crisp, but composed in a way that it holds a soft composition, as babies are best.

There is nothing I can say that I think stands a chance at making this better. I guess I will have to find another one of your images to critique cause this one is just simply job well done.

I spent 5 minutes, just messing around, here is my take on it.
Duplicate Layer>Image>Adjustments>Selective Colors(Blue). Next, Image>Adjustments>Saturation. Flatten image. Duplicate layer>Dodge/Clone>Flatten Image.

I love this shot, maybe because I paticularly enjoy seeing birds in photos. They aren't easy thats for sure.

Anyway, there is some things with this photo that I think could really make it stand out more. One, the flat blue sky needs a bit more of a saturation punch. Then the bird is sitting to dark, and without that beautiful definition you can see only when squinting. Both are easy fixes, with a variety of different techniques. I think you would gain a lot by making the fixes, this photo is awesome.

Amazing look! It caught my eye, amongst a whole page of other photos. I seen Bear Music's advice photo, and I must admit I like the comp he used. I would also add to his, just a smidgin of dodge/clone.
I've been using some new techniques for my grainy skies, you know to smooth em out a little. It works to a moderate extent, I would share the technique if your interested. (I call it new, probably not, but something I have just recently realized, LOL.)

I'm not a huge IR fan...a bit too fantasy for me most of the time. The contrast is very cool, and the sky is awesome. Yeah, there is a bit of a grain to the sky I wish was smoother, but thats probably more persoanl preference than anything.

Recently I've started playing with a layer of gaussian blur in my skies when they do this to achieve a more smoother look. I doubt you're interested but if you are, I would be glad to share the technique, just hollar. Great photo!
