This is so sexy! If you had a lighting crew you'd be on your way to a career in advertising.

Actually, you could improve this photo merely by rotating it a couple of degrees clockwise. You might also experiment with sharpening techniques after resizing. Good luck!

Edited for spelling. :-/
EDIT: Oh crap, I meant to edit my comment and ended up adding another! :-P

Day 02 - Market War

Nice point-of-view! This is cool because at first glance it seems like children tickling another child, but then the details begin to accumulate. Definitely makes the viewer curious about the story. I think the duotone works well, too.

Very attractive capture, with lovely slanted lighting. The body language of the subject is quite appealing. The skirt really makes the photo for some reason, I like the color and you've captured the movement nicely. On the nitpick side, the woman in the background is a distraction (to me), and the overhead awning, though oof, nevertheless intrudes a bit as well.

Such expressions! Interesting if not exactly flattering. :-)

A little blown out in places, but for a candid that's not so bad. The colors work for me.

Lovebirds

Germaine, I think the over-exposure works very well, except for where it sort of bleeds into the walking couple. I like what the increased color saturation has done to the curb -- it's like they are walking next to lava! Nice connection between the couple and the Lovebird window sign.

Day 01 - Married too Long

Tremendous opening shot for this side challenge! Nice subject, and I love the sunlit woman in the background. And thanks for the advice on using the continuous focus. I tend to turn mine off as I often focus and then reframe the subject.

Your processing is very attractive, too. I really must learn how to use layers, etc!
