Cute. Depth of field could be improved.

Finally! Now THIS is a great photo. I'd like for the kitten to be a bit sharper (faster shutter) but everything else is so great! The tonal range is excellent, the square composition is lovely... well done!

How do you get the "bronze" b&w effect?? I've tried looking on my camera, but to no luck! Is it something that can be changed on photoshop?? Nicely placed subjects, great lighting!

Very emotive photo, I like it a lot. The framing, the girls expressions, the choise of duotone and motive is just great. Ok, there could be better focus on the kitten, but everything else justifies that. One of the best in this challenge imo, definately top 10 and it wouldn't surprise me to see it in ribbon position. Good luck.

When I was asking around for ideas, before coming up with one of my own, a friend told me: "Hope? Take a picture of a kid nursing a kitten back to health". And you did a much better job than I would have.

This is one of those pictures that makes me think "Why can't I capture moments like this!"

Beautiful...the girl on the left peeking over her friend's/sister's shoulder is perfect!

Some other expers around here might be able to give some tips as to how improve the lighting for a shot like this (especially on the arm/bottle in the bottom left corner). Good capture, though...7
