You're blessed to have such wonderfully expressive models. And they are blessed to have you to capture the beauty and joys of their childhood. This is really beautiful. The cheerful colors contrast nicely with the drab desolate scene she is posed in. Great composition. Nice job!

Has a very nice fashion feel to it. Nice pose, elegant and I like her aloof expression. The contrasts betwen the casual attire and the jewelry and her attitude is nice. Colors are good and lighting is nice (although the slight shadow is a wee bit of an distraction) But overall a cool fashion portrait. 8

This really draws me in. Her eyes are exquisite and with the fiery red hair and freckles, it's just wonderful. So very pretty and natural looking even with the big boost to the red hair.

Almost there!

This just makes me smile! Maybe a smidge oversharpened around the eyes, but oh so cute!

gorgeous! My favorite shot of yours so far. You just glow here. Very ethereal. Lighting is perfect and black background just makes the gold in your hair pop. Very nice. bumping to a 9

I love this photo. I like everything about it. I even love that border. It really works for this photo. The colors are great, expression is amusing and the touch of green with the apple works well with the background and really pops. Well done, bumping to a 9

Wow! What a wonderful photo and a precious memory. This definitely tells a story. The fact that you were able to capture that gaze, that moment in time is beautiful. This photo speaks to me in so many ways. Thank you for sharing it with us. Techincally, the composition is wonderful, the light works nicely for you here and it has a nice pleasing color palette.

Needs a bit more light. The composition is nice. It tells a story about this person and that's a good quality in a portrait.

This is pretty cool as a digital art type piece. Not quite sure it fits for a portrait challenge though. The colors are very cool and I like how you can't see any faces. I like it being overexposed and how the last guy doesn't really quite fit in with the others. But for this challenge it doesn't seem to work, for me anyways. It's still cool though. :-)
