baby's joy

Those eyes are going to break hearts! You can't help but smile when you look into them, and into them you do look, not at. Cliche or not this is one beautiful and happy baby. Of course the food keeps it from being a portrait, but it is a nice photo. I really like the focus you achieved, not to sharp or crisp. Drop your crop a little at the bottom and let us see all the quote on the bib and the photo is right on.

Really neat timing that they both had their eyes closed. Luck or planned? The cropping is off. It should, in my opinion, been cropped as tightly on one side as the other. Personally I would have liked to see a little more of the left side. The focus is beautiful for this shot, nice and soft enough for the love and emotion to show, yet sharp enough for great clarity. You already know the top left corner is a little light. I love the dimple in the baby's elbow. This is a beautiful photo packed with emotion and feelings. Way to go.

Lighten it up a little and don't crop it quite so closely. Give us all the plate, at least. sure glad you didn't make us look at this open with that thing inside the shell. They are sickening looking in my opinion and taste worse than they look. My like of the oyster is worth a 1 and my feeling about the photo is a 7. Since it is a photograph challenge guess you get the a 6.

Really nice DOF, focus, subject, etc. Nice one. Good almost B&W. Like the rail. No "wow" but a nicely done shot.

Akid after my own hart. Keep him partiotic all his life. Good beginning and a really good photo. Well done, especially without waking him. Like the lighting and the focus. Cropping a little tight at the top, just a little. Should have been out to the edge of the pillow, in my opinon.

I can't believe I missed this on my first pass, when I did all the animal shots, because they are my favorite photos. To me they're not cliche. Other than the cat's neck appearing to have a crick in it, because of the way his head is turned, this is fantastic. But that doesn't really hurt it, because it happens right at the spout, which keeps you from pouring his head out the spout. heh, heh, heh. This is so cute. I lvoe it. Nice shot.

Much longer and the baby would be too old for this type of shot. My sister sent me one similar to this of her grandchild. This is beautiful. I like how the background almost swallows the child up. Beautiful shot and really nice piece of art.

I love to go in them. We have one here on a side rail. And the keep it in good shape. They are so neat. Wish the slow trains would come back. This was really a good shot. I would have iked it better in color, especially if it is red. It has been sharpeded way too much, Unless you were going for the "sketch look". Which, in that case, you did a really good job. This almost looks like it is a personal rather than public cabbose. Hope you let us see it in it's original form.

With the jet streams almost look like it is falling and burning up. This is a very nice and different sunset photo. I like it. Can't help you any to improve it. Sorry.

Nice one. Don't like the shadows, even though there aren't too many. Good color, rich and vivid and very natural. Good focus and ighting, except for the shadows. Nice composition, not too cramped, nor too airy, but just the right amount of space. Good model, very natural pose , nice looking and beautiful expression, very photogenic. Would rank up there in a portrait contest. You appear to have a talent for this type of photography. Beautiful photo.
