Barbie lost her pants... though I guess that's what got her into this situation, so why worry about modesty now? =D

would have been better with eye contact with the models ;-) Nice idea!

My homecoming date didn't look quite like this! And....even if she did, my camera wouldn't have done her justice !

Good color and skin tones. Seems like she is in shadow but subject is lit well.

Beautiful girl. I think the background could be faded out more though... larger aperature (smaller number) or have her stand further away from the background or both. Of course, this is 2002, and 4 years later you have probably learned that.
Colors and light done well.

Great facial focus. Nicely done with the black and white. The background is a tad distracting, but the girls are spot on!!

since this is the original I will comment on it. First off...I am in no way representing myself as a pro so what I say is just my opinion of what I would try to watch.
Your depth of field seems good, you can see the background but it really isn't distracting, maybe a little more blur would be nice but not too much...very fine line there.
Your framing of the two seems right on! While some of Brenna's (the little girl?) hair is cut off it is not an issue in my book.
Colors seem good and lighting is even, there are no harsh shadows that I can see.
The only thing I really see and it caught me right off the bat but is really a picky thing for me...the little girl's outfit appears to have ridden up and covering her face some. This caused a weird crop on her chin but like I said, it is just a picky thing for me and may not be an issue at all with the subjects. I would also be picky about the little ones hair, it is kind of flighty on top and she has a few bumps that could have maybe been flattened.
How are you coverting to b/w. I would research for the tutorial about converting using channel adjustments if you aren't doing that already. Seems like it could use some darkening in places is why I mentioned it.

Overall a really nice photo that looks good in color as well as b/w. Good job and good luck with the bizz.

A nice long exposure, but to me, the focus seems a bit off.

nice long exposure, b&w need help, good color, great texture, light a bit flat, dof ok, nice flow, overall could be better
