birds on the gorund blend in too much IMO. Nice idea, reposition so you don't get the cars in the backfround. They are a little dstracting. 6

I'm an Astros fan (although it's been tough lately). Looks like a little overdone on the Neat Image.

nice minimalist lighting to empasize the hands. A little highlight or backlight through the hair might improve this. Strong image.

I'll trust that there really are tem buds here ;-). I little too much noise int he background. You might try Neat Image or Noise Ninja.

Great lighting, the side light really captures the texture of the baby's skin. Well done!

First impression - Nice backlighting, but I wish I knew what this is.

Nice technique on the backlighting, really brings a glow to the object. I see a bit of reflection on the bottom. I wonder if the composition would improve if there was more of the reflection. Hard to tell.

From a DPC voter perspective, my guess is there isn't anything for the voter to focus on within the glass object. The dark background doesn't give us any context to understand the subject better. Understanding isn't always necessary, but it might help here.

Good execution, a more thoughtful attention to the setting probably would have pushed the score higher.

Nice job on your first entry. Keep 'em coming!

I hope this was helpful. Feel free to contact me if you hhave any questions.
