An excellent shot, full of life and well taken and presented. Somehow, I think there might be better positioning of the back child for the composition, but with the strong contrast and both children in action, it still works very well as is.

Not quite sure about the title, but it's an excellent photograph of the child. Good composition and tones. The hand reaching adds another dimension, though I am a bit mixed as to whether this would have been better in focus. Overall, excellent, in my top 5 list for this challenge.

Whoever's wedding you shot this for must be thrilled for this wonderful photo. I love the vignette effect here, which works very well with the high key posts and sky. It ooks like she may be slightly underexposed and could use a little more light on her, but it's hard to tell because she's presented so small here. Overall, excellent, in my top 5 list for this challenge.

Well balanced photo with great color contrast to the desaturated girl. Lovely tones in the B&W too, perfect pose, and a good message. I am not sure, however, what the second message is besides peace. What's the L for? Excellent work. 10.

Very nice--good tones. The negative space is nice, but to me it might have been better with some left/right space as well.

Very good idea, well done with the white dominos. I hope you did some high speed captures when you knocked it down. I am sure there's a very cool pic in there where it's half up, half down.

Very nice shot with lots of touch in both the tactile and emotive dimensions.

Beautiful shot--what a lovely smile, that baby is very content to be held that way.

I think it might have been nice to try to crop it to get rid of the background distractions on the lower left--I would think maybe by cropping the bottom, but you could also try the left. Post challenge, of course, there's always the clone brush....

Nice work.
