What a nice shot. Your daughter has a beautiful face and smile. I like this the way it is quite a lot, but I agree with not centering the composition quite as much. Still, a very nice polished looking shot.

Assignment 3 - redo

Excellent combo of photos and both so well done. I do like this version a bit better than your original. Great, natural expressions and pose. Focus, exposure and editing all appear wonderful to my eye.

This is just done perfectly.

Wow..hard to believe this one came in so low. I think it's just an excellent shot. Good exposure, good focus and use of b/w and nice casual pose of the subject. I like the rather dark contrast and tend to use that a bit more myself. I think it adds some drama to a shot. It's done really well here without overdoing it.

The only thing I can see to do differently would be maybe some slightly different composition to focus on the texture a bit more...just for the challenge, though. As a portrait I like it just the way it is.

I've not read or watched LOTR so I'm not familiar with the characters, but it was fun reading through your comments to see who you "fooled" with this one :) Wherever you're doing these "deep forested fog" shots, you're certainly conveying the mood quite well.

Maybe just a bit too much light on the front leaves, but that's just my .02.

The king of the fog machine! I really like this shot. I'm not sure I would say there's a strong connection to the challenge topic, but it works. Very moody, very spooky. The lighting and the pose are perfect. I think it would have been even better to have some water with reflections at the bottom of the pic.

Very nice composition. I would have liked some more contrast, or perhaps left it in color. The field and front portion just seem a bit dark to me.

Gotta smile here! Thanks for the laugh. Technically great job, as usual.

The Comforts Of Home

Great shot and editing. The sky really makes this one something special and I think besides this effect, it lends itself to a lot of different possibilities. Nice composition too.

That's just freaky. Totally through me off when I pulled this one up! LOL
