This is funny. Looks like he still has some serious bed head going on. :D As for the technical qualities, this is a bit too soft and the lighting seems a little harsh. JMO of course. Good luck in the challenge.

This is cute and fun to look at. Not sure how it really fits as a true portrait. You've done a nice job getting a solid range of black to white in this. Good luck in the challenge.

This is cute. Lighting seems a little harsh making the photo seem a little flat (lacking depth in contrast). JMO of course. :) Good luck in the challenge.

He has such a serious expression and I imagine those eyes are quite intense. If only we could see them better. :D Focus is sharp around the nose but falls off fast and the eyes are way too soft IMO. Good luck in the challenge.

Wonderful character in this portrait. The painting helps I'm sure, but her eyes seem so serious, perhaps contemplative...beyond her years. Hard to explain I guess. Certainly an engaging photo. Nicely done. Good luck in the challenge.

I like the way her hair and the hat isolate her face in black. The tonal range I think is just a tad short on the high end (missing a true white). Hmmm. I just noticed the threads in the hat. Those are white. Perhaps the B/W points are correct, but her eyes and teeth seem like they could be a little brighter. Just a thought. Best of luck to you in the challenge.

Very nice alluring image. Composition is strong. Only complaint from me is the eyes beg to stand out...as is, the nose and upper lip are well focused but then it softens up around her eyes. JMO of course. Good luck in the challenge.

Sugar, were going down

Hey. I just saw one of these a minute ago. :D Their's was a big splash, yours is a little splash. Hmmm. I think with the smaller splash you're losing some impact with all of the surrounding distractions. I would have cropped this in substantially and shown off that nice arc on the left side of the splash. The coffee cup is dirty - from prior attempts maybe? All JMO of course. :P Good luck in the challenge.

Only one person I know of that would go to this extreme. :D Hope it does well for you. Did you try using a polarizer to knock the reflections down on the picture frame glass? Just a thought. Good luck in the challenge.

This is fun to look at. Kind of wish there was a little better seperation of the boy and the background, but it still works overall. Good luck in the challenge.
