CUTE! Terrific concept and my only issue is with the harsh catchlights in the baby's eye. I find myself STARING at the circle of light reflected in the baby's eyes and not really looking at the eyes themselves..

If you used NR tools I think a little less of the opacity would've benefitted this otherwise VERY LOVELY shot. Great crop, lovely angle, nice highlight of the hair. My only issue is the aspect of the luminosity leading to the unnatural skin appearance.

If you didn't use NRand this is really her skin well color me embarassed.

A tighter crop would've benefited this otherwise nicely done shot of a young boy "in action".

Nicely done but to be honest I'm not sure if I'm loving the crop of this shot.

Please smile ... please?

Too soft of focus throughout and that black area behind the lovely model distracts the eye.

Beautifully executed. I am curious, tho, how the leaves would've made the eyes look in this shot.

Really a nice shot. My only 2 issues lie with the harshness of the shadows from the flash. One: on the hand and arm and pencil and Two: the desk and that tiny bit of shadow is distracting. Good portraiture rids itself of harsh shadows.

I do like the set up and that child looks "thrilled" (hehe) to be doing homework. Nice penmanship, btw.

There is a harsh flash kick in the owl's eyesand his beak reflection. A flash diffuser would've improved that "harsh" look.

Otherwise a VERY cool portrait of "whooo whooo".
