This will bring back memories years from now. It is a good snap shot, but has potential to become an artistic piece too. I think many elements of the background distract from our scrunched-face subject. On the right hand side of the image, consider cropping just outside of the baby's left elbow and before the white verticle background element (eliminating most of the dark part of the background past the gloved hand), even though it breaks a rule and cuts off the gloved index finger. On the other side, converting the green fabric to something much darker or even black might be tried in Photoshop.

Holiday decoratons nicely subdued in the background, but the overall image tone feels somber. Increasing brightness might help make this more festive.

One of the best baby portraits I've seen. Enjoy the contrast of smooth skin with textured leaves, and the balance of reds/oranges/yellows with skin tones. Cute expression too.

A Lady and her snake....

Your choice of lighting both sides and allowing shadows to occupy the middle works very well here. The drama goes well with the "danger" message from both the snake and the sexuality.

I like the eyes, lighting, and expression. The gloved hand seems a little harsh for this portrait - makes me wonder about how different hand poses might have worked (no suggestions, however) and therefore tips toward distrating instead of enhancing. 7 nonetheless.

Quiet an eastern European ambiance - could easily illustrate a fairy tale. The pale squashes add a melancholy accent to the mood.

I like the mood contributed by the faint blue-grey tone.

Yellow eyes grab attention, complimented by the red mouth, while the detail preserved in the feathers gives the eye lots to explore. Very well done.

Just enought texture to keep it from being flat, with fantastic colors and delicacy. Worthy of repeated examination. 9.
