Sunrise Over The Lake

It's hard to find photos of this building that aren't good just because of the architecture, but I think yours counts. I like that the prow on the right (it looks like a ship when you stand close) is just about touching the sun, but not quite.

You've probably seen the wings open a million times since you go to school in Milwaukee, but what'd you think of them?

It's very... blue. Since it's advanced editing, that's not a huge deal to change unless you're somewhere without software. Also, even though it's a portrait, more negative space would help here. The crop is a little close, so it looks like anyone's baby picture more than artistic photography.

Cute pose and face. If he's yours, congratulations on such a sweetheart - he at least looks the part.

This would be endearing if it didn't look like he's just murdered his pacifier. The direct side lighting sort of blew out a little of his face, but it caught in his eyes nicely.

I love that the focus is on the hair and not the eyes, but this still definitely counts as a portrait for me. It's something different, but it shows you what a portrait is supposed to show.

The angle of the background is neat, and I like the colors overall. His face looks kind of plastic, though, the way his eyes and mouth pop out all sharp against very smooth skin and eyebrows.

I had to stare at this for quite a while before I could figure out what to say. I still don't know. But she's so genuine... and that title fits well, because her age and facial expression make her look to be on the verge of sudden, profoud maturity. There isn't a thing about this photo I'd change.

Creative choice of subject! If you'd actually thrown in a strawberry it would be adorable, but on second thought, the way his head is tilted like he's asking you for a strawberry is pretty sweet. All it needs is for the focus to move up a little, since it missed his face and landed on the mat, sadly. And that green blob could be removed, for better unity of color.

But man, I really do like hedgehogs.

Atypical. I like it! Much more representative of a young boy than the angelic studio portraits I too often see.

Father & Son

They both seem to emerge from an indistinguishable stump. Even jacking up the brightness on my monitor doesn't separate them. Cute photo, but there needs to be more emphasis on the faces than the hands.

Good job dealing with direct overhead light. I'd like to see more of their eyes, though. Their personalities come straight across, I like that you captured both.
