Lovely composition and clarity...the angle does elongate her face a bit much, and the color seems just a tiny bit "off" on my monitor (which could very well be, well...my monitor!) but overall it's quite nice. She has mesmerizing eyes. :)

ROFL! Great idea. Not sure I really like the whole cig thing (underage smoking is really one of my pet peeves) but that's neither here nor there. Excellent sharpness and color, perfect for an off-the-wall greeting card. 8 if I could vote! :)

Very nice...great sharpness on the eyes but they might be just a tiny bit too bright. The muted colors work extremely well together. Nice background. My only advice is to check the collar to be sure it's not crumpled next time... ;) 7 if I could vote. :)

This is very nice...great sharpness and color, nice expressions...the tiny bits of white on the boys' shirt distract the eyes a bit (might clone those out if you're so inclined) but overall this is a great subject for a 16x20 on the family room wall. :)

Very fun...great lighting and composition...but I do have to mention the chopped-off arm and foot (I'm sure others have mentioned it so I won't go on). ;) Overall it's really cute and different from all the boring headshots. 7 if I could vote! :)

I rarely comment anymore, but as I was browsing the thumbnails of this challenge, this image just wowed me. It's awesome...the lighting and the expressions really make you feel a connection not only to the image, but between the subjects themselves. I didn't feel that looking at any other shots. It appears to be a tiny bit soft, and there is a desaturated spot on the top guy's neck and shoulder that are a little distracting when you stare at it, but on the whole, I'd be damned proud to hang this on my wall. Beautiful work. 9 if I could vote! :)
