Very cool shot! It has a sort of "super real" feel to it; almost looks drawn, in a very realistic way. I would agree about cropping in closer or filling the frame with more toys. Nice one!

Drats...it's shaping up to be a Barry Manilow song-stuck-in-the-head kind of night. No offense to your cute little Lola. She's darling!

He has an interesting, brooding look that makes me wonder what his story is. The writing on the shirt tends to distract a bit. When I cover it up, my eye tends to stay focused on his face rather than being drawn down.

Well he's sure workin' it, isn't he? He's got the shirt, the shades, and the sassy hair. Somehow I get the feeling that you didn't have to twist his arm to pose for you! ;)

Another keeper! Great expression in the eyes...perhaps a little dodging of the highlight might add just a bit of sparkle. :)

Nice! What a great look you captured! The yellow slicker covered in raindrops adds so much. A wonderful childhood moment.

A little impish, a little soulful...You have a very open and inviting look. I'll bet that people are comfortable around you. ;)

I really like this one! The b&w is perfect, and you've done a great job using light and shadow to their best effect. The fact that you've chosen to relegate your head to a small lower quadrant of the frame enhances the moodiness of the shot while prodding us to develop a story in our minds. The textured background and vignetting all around further contribute to the overall sense of angst that you've conjured up. Nice job!

Can I come and hang out at the beach with you? It's chilly and drizzly here today. :( Nice vibrancy!
