First Smile

I LOVE baby pics! (Too many here bellyache about them, I've noticed). I will suggest, though, that if you'd gotten more face and a little less tummy it'd be a stronger portrait. I like that there is a reflection of light filling in on the (to us) right side of the face. It softens the 'hatchet lighting' with patches of sunlight and shadows that can take so much of the details from the face. I hope to see more of that precious smile!

Not your typical flower shot

I like it! Especially where the center area has that off-center "cowlick". And the colors are quite an unsual grouping. It certainly drew MY eye into it all.

GOOD title! I'd have liked to see the rest of the shadow, so perhaps would have reconsidered the isolation that comes by putting it "smack-in-the-middle"... but I like it a lot!

I always wanted to meet someone from Home. (Seriously. My uncle had a place on Herron Island, so I've been to/through Home a number of times!)

Oh! Yeah! I LOVE the image! I don't know if the vignette adds to the scenery, but the image is strong and compelling to me.

David,

What a lush, gorgeous scene! Those colors jump right out at you, and the composition is impeccable. ...And the title!!! OY!

Looking forward to seeing you again - in Moab in a few weeks.

Love the shot, but feel it needs hands/fingers to go above my 7

So far, the best in the challenge. That border though, detracts like crazy. Feels like a Denver Broncos sponsored ad.
