Composition: I like the way your arms frame your face.

Lighting/Exposure: Lighting is very nice. I look forward to seeing what you do w/this lens!!

Pose: Standard photographer pose. Nice hand cradling the lens there.

Suggestions for Improvements: I would crop this. To just above your head on the top and to just above your elbow on the bottom. When I do it with my hands, it looks much better. Brings your face into the limelight. :)

This is a very candid self portrait. Those come along rarely. :) Keep it up!!

This is just awe inspiring, Kari. Very nicely found and photographed!!

Composition: Fantastic leading lines. I am drawn right to her every time.

Lighting/Exposure: GREAT DOF choice! I rather light the light.

Pose: She looks like she is watching for something or someone. Her expression fits well.

Suggestions for Improvements: A removal of the bright spot in the top left corner. Either with a crop or a burning of the highlights.

I like the cool colouring you have going on here. It's very emotive. Makes it feel a bit sad.

Composition: I like the slightly off center comp here.

Lighting/Exposure: Very nice silhouette. I am wondering what f-stop you used. You seem a bit oof but the background is tack sharp.

Pose: Ideal.

Suggestions for Improvements: I would like to see the feet.

These SPs are very moody and dark. Yet they show so much light and beauty in the world. I quite like the contrast between the two. :)

Comment:
Composition: I like the choice of centering here.

Lighting/Exposure: Your light is always so beautiful and soft.

Pose: Perfect. I love that he still has a pencil in his little hand.

Suggestions for Improvements: Cloning or cropping of the white paper in the bottom right corner.

Luke looks like he is having a great time playing with you. :) Love this kid's eyes!

Composition: He looks just a bit confined.

Lighting/Exposure: I appreciate that you managed to keep the glare out of the glasses. Nice light but I would like to see some separation of the subject and the background.

Pose: Nice head tilt.

Suggestions for Improvements: Leaving a bit of space on one side or the other of the shoulder to give a more free appearance. Some kind of light on the background.

This looks to be a very honest conveying of personality. He has a nice face :)

Composition: Nice use of negative space.

Lighting/Exposure: Very soft. Good use of dark/light to create a mood.

Pose: N/A face only.

Suggestions for Improvements: A little less darkness between the face and ear or a taking out of the ear totally.

This is so emotional. Love it!

Composition: Very nicely balanced with what we can make out well and what is not so clear.

This is a very cool image. I think it would have done well in the transparency challenge! :)
