In your poto, the metaphor of clarity and vision is found in both the result from the camera lens and in the subject. Nice work.

PAW - Nothing much new to add, but I just had to comment here because I love the expression, the smile and bright eyes. Good choice of subtle background to keep the attention on Wendy, though the dark mass on the left is a bit distracting. I love the bright reds. I have a feeling we'll be seeing a lot of Wendy this year.

PAW - Excellent detail. Did you sharpen it a lot to get that detail? Nice relaxed pose and good crop. The lines on the wall following the eyesight lines are a bit distracting. Much shallower DOF or different camera angle may have helped there.

PAW - I like the pose and framing/composition of it. Even without good studio lighting if you had bounced the light off the ceiling and wall or used some tissue or something to diffuse it that would have really helped reduce the shadows and glare on parts of the face. I wish I could get my wife or other people to pose for me!

Lighting is a bit flat, and the shadows from the glasses across her eyes/face would not have done well in the challenge. I do like how she is looking over her shoulder at you and looks comfortable having her picture taken.

Very nice candid. I like the details of the lines in his face and the focus on his eyes.

Nice smile. The lighting is a bit flat, and the eyes a bit soft, but you have some lovely colors here and a good pose.
