Deep in Thought

Nice lighting. Is it my monitor or are the tones a little flat - could the black be blacker? the face is nice but the cropping of the neck is awkward. Your negatice space is well balanced. Also I think all the leading lines lead OUT of the picture - when the viewers gaze is led to the edge of the frame, his mind says "Done, next picture". The longer you can get your audience to look at your image, the better your score will be. There are details that will be missed on a quick glance. That's why leading lines are especially important in a contest like this where most people are speed voting. The curl of haor on the left leads out. The statues gaze, if I follow it, leads off the bottom. There is an unattractive dirty line of her collar that strongly leads out.

Framing could be better (to get all her leg and to hide the guy in the background), but their faces are nice and innocent. Enjoy their getting along while it lasts, hah.

A tad to bright maybe...
...would have adjusted levels to make it a bit darker.

I loved this one - would have rated it much higher if the technical quality was there, - I think you captured life pretty well

Would've been a really good shot had the colors been a little brighter and not quite so washed out. Other than that, I love the subjects and their expressions. The other people in the background kind of distract, but still not a bad shot.

Cute kids. I wish the colors were brighter. They seem kind of soft.

The soft focus, if on purpose, didn't work on this for me. A bit more contrast would have helped.
