One of my favourites this week. Great composition and focus. B&w is perfect. Lighting is also good.

I did this a couple of weeks ago with pens but it was a disaster. But yours is better - far better. Simple and interesting. Focus and light OK. My shot ended at 4.476 and I hope you are doing better.

Interesting. Good composition. I had probably cropped it a little at left to make the blue corner up left disappear. And make the lower left corner look like the lower right corner. Just a thought. Overall a nice photo.

Nice colours and good composition. A little disturbing light at top center. Overall a nice photo.

A good photo. I think it had been better if the background (up left an center) had been darker. Good focus and composition.

This is a lovely portrait of a lovely child. Sharp with perfect lighting. It´s just the background - it´s a bit disturbing because it is so light. If it was allowed Photoshop could do marvelous job here. Overall a nice photo to look at.

Here´s a great job. Good colours, focus, lighting and background. The border is a little thick for my taste. I had probably mad it dark gray and 4-5 pixels. But this is a matter of taste. Overall a nice photo that could be a nice poster. (7)
Sorry I have to come in here again. I´m looking at it for the 10th time and now I have made up my mind. I have to change my score from (7) to (8). I really can´t say why it´s not higher - it has something to do with the cropping (framing). Sorry for not being able to be more precise. (final-8)
