darling! love the eyes. I like tight crops but i think it's a little crowded around the eyes, I might like to see this backed off just a tad.

i like the competition over attemthin between the small purple flower and the large yellow one behind. the focus is spot on and crisp and the colors are lovely. Could have done without the little green plant in the front though.

seems more surprise than wonder. a cute candid but don't see this doing well in the contest. the image quality is pretty poor. could have been helped by darkening the background so the grain didn't show as much.

Very cute photo. Have been getting tired of these hands holding stuff photos but this is different with stuff actually in the background and the shallow DOF. The bright blue is really a nice touch i think. Probably would have rather seen bare feet, those shoes are rather trendy right now. lol ;) nice job.

he looks proud. majestic is a nice word but i like proud better. :) second look he seems interested in something. I like the tones, they are warm and natural. I love the little black spot on his nose.

Glorious Sun! Even my shadow stands tall in your presence.

gassp! gorgeous fairy tale feel, enhanced by the soft colors. almost feels to me as if the subject is being watched... well obviously they are (lol) but you don't always get that feeling from photographs. I think I get that from the way the stairs lead down. Makes me feel like I should go join them... and if I was brave (or stupid?) perhaps jump in. Or to go with the fairy tale theme, I'd idealy like to fly from that spot.

normally I wouldn't like that huge white spot but it gives it a feeling of infinity, though it might be cool if it was in the middle, maybe not though... perhaps a little on the other side to balance it out.

freedom

my first thought was fun! I thought maybe she was jumping on a trampoline or something until I saw the comments. The colors are lovely and vibrant.

not sure about the title... sorry to say I associate that with... "naughty stuff". Unless that was your intent... at first i misread it as freedom... my happy naive self likes that better as that is more my interpretation of this image. :D lol.

drum circle... sounds fun. I need to get out more.
