The Sky's the Limit

Excellent shot! The use of wide angle and the angle in which you took the photograph is very suitable since the clouds makes a nice backdrop. The deep DOF looks great and the reflection in the glasses works.
The pose itself makes me think that you're smelling the fresh air from the sea. Very nice! Upgraded from 6 to 8 on pass #2.

I really like this! The highlights in the hair on the left side gives it a very nice feel. The model also suits those types of glasses. Upgraded from 6 to 7 on pass #2.

This does look great in b/w and the shallow DOF looks good here since you clearly wanted the main focus to be on the boys face and not the pencil. Great job! I gave it a 6 in the initial pass but upgraded it to a 7 after studying it closer.

Quite different from the other images in the challenge and it works well. Lighting is not too harsh although it must have been sunny. Good job in bringing out the detail in the wood grain. The deep DOF was a smart choice.

Nicely done. The antique mode is very appropriate.

Great shot and a very nice composition. They eyes show evidence of an umbrella but give them an interesting sparkle. Smart choice of b/w. I marked this as a 6 in my initial pass but changing it to a 7 now after spending more time viewing it.

One of my favorites in this challenge. I have no idea what happened for the subject to end up with broken glasses and random dirt but it makes the viewer think - which is obviously a good thing.

Colors are nice. It does not look too overdone and composition is clearly excellent! I marked it as a 6 in my first pass but marking it up to an 8 after spending more time viewing it. I hope you'll get a ribbon for it!

One pair of glasses would have been enough for me. But you are just so very cute and the composition and crop is good so it scores well with me anyway. I also like the warm tones.
Great job!

One of my top 5 in this challenge. Excellent idea. A little soft but it works well for the setting.
