This has great potential. I'd put him up against a solid background and you'd really have something! Like the expression and the hair and glasses. HEE HEE Cute kid.

Interesting take on the challenge. Love the glasses and eyes. It probably will get some smacks for the high aspect of the light, but I like it.

Great job. Bet the blue ink was a tasty beverage. I hope you chased it down with a nice cold one!!! Very interesting perspective. I have no idea how you did this. The colors are great and considering you're under water, it is amazingly clear. Imagination at it's best. 10!!!

The Look

This is a wonderful start. The eyes and lips are wonderful. I think some post editing work would really put this in a class by itself. I'd clone out the blemish to the left side of her nose and maybe soften it up ever so much overall. I'd probably clone out the pink of her shirt as well, since it really doesn't add to the overall appeal of the shot. She's a lovely girl!!

Very striking. Natural look to it. Beautiful eyes and hair for sure. I think a smidge of post editing would have helped soften it up just that little bit that would send it over the edge for me. Lovely girl!!

This is so outstanding that I cannot explain. The "in your face" feeling compells me to just gaze into those beautiful blue eyes. The freckles are so charming and give it an innocence. The clarity is superb. Beautiful skin tones as well. Bravo!!! 10

Now THIS is a portrait!!! The lighting and the closeness to the face is wonderful. The props of the bubbles just add more wonder to that adorable expression. The skin tones are perfect. What a gorgeous child. Those eyes! AUGHHHHHHH Your use of negative space and the framing - Spot on. TEN TEN TEN!!!

I feel that she is way too small in the shot. I think a portrait should showcase the face. Hers is lovely, but I can't see any detail. The heart in the background I find distracting. The focus should only be on her. Her eyes are lovely, but I'd like to see them about 4 times closer. She's a lovely girl.
