The eyes have it - I love the sly little look toward the camera. Very nice use of natural light and the shadow it creates - adds depth and texture to the shot. Here's an idea to try - try a square crop starting from the bottom up. It'll cut off the top of the head, but will put the eyes on a "third" line. Gives it a different feeling - a bit more power, maybe. It's really a very nice shot and I suspect it would have scored fairly well. As I said to begin with - you got the "look" - and to me, that's what makes it good.

What lovely use of natural lighting. Just goes to show that a lot of light is out there even when you think it isn't. Great color in this.

This is priceless - not only is your daughter a cutie (and gonna be a serious heartbreaker as she gets older) but she has her mom's delightful sense of whimsy, it seems! Love seeing these.

I think this is a very pleasing result. Definitely brings out the texture/shadows of the fence and has warm rich but not overly done color to it. Not sure about the dark parts of the sky, but I've had a hard time getting skies to work out well in HDR unless they're absolutely perfectly exposed in the first place. Keep at it - it's fun, isn't it?

Beautiful colors and form. Lighting is excellent.

I'm a sucker for cat shots. I really like the slight turn of the ears - so very "cat" - you know? Nice, striking shot.

I'd have never guessed it was a night shot, but did wonder about the blur of the palms. That made me think "long exposure" but it looked so much like daylight I was stumped. Well thought out to "see" this in the dark!

You have a wonderful way of seeing things then presenting them to us. Thanks for that.

I can't believe you disassembled a Woody for this! Oh the horror! Did you at least put him back together again, the poor broken man? Really a very good shot Ken - you have an amazing knack for generating emotion with these guys.

A sweet, natural, warm portrait. It may need a bit more in lighting but you got the important part, and that's passing along a bit of the person's personality.
