Lovely soft portrait. Love her freckles. Lovely model. Nice use of lighting and contrast. On a second look, my only complaint is that the right side of her face is slightly blurred. If it were perfectly focused, you'd have a 10 on your hands.

Fun fireworks!!! Nice night shot. On second consideration, I'll elaborate that the lights on the horizon add a nice straight quality to the roundness of the fireworks. That slight reflective quality of the watermaybe a touch distracting . I just wish it were a bigger picture!

Wow - how did you do this using basic editing? Looks almost like the swirl technique of Roxio and Adobe. The colors are pretty but it just doesn't have a bunch of POP for me. Hope this is helpful.

Lined Up

I like the duplicity of the balls all lined up but they aren't focused quite enough for the POW that is needed for a really outstanding photo.

Interesting idea. I know how hard it is to capture moving objects. I wish the guy on the left were more in focus. I'd crop out the posts on the right.

This just seems too staged. Maybe if the pieces of paper weren't in such perfect symmetry, it might be a bit more interesting. Or perhaps if it were shot from a side view and not just straight on. The rose is a tad blurred. Hope this is helpful.

Family Hike

Their bodies seem elongated from top to bottom. Maybe it's just me. Great overall capture of them - nice and natural. I'm going to elaborate on this one. The composition is well shot but the lighting is a tad dim and there isn't any POW factor on their faces. The varying heights is good, but overall, it could use some tweaking. Hope this helps.

Everybody looks so pleased to be there. I wish they weren't all so boxed in, but that's typical when groups of people are standing around and have to all be in a shot.

Clever title. Interesting perspective on Family - I like originality. Nicely studio photo. The shadow on the floor is a nice touch.

The figures are too shadowed for my taste. Their placement in the shot is good, but I'd work on the lighting to really bring them up and into focus.
