OHHHH my gosh what CUTE EYES! great processing and i love the angle and depth of field. keeping everything clear really made a difference with this shot....sooooo cute! I hate this challenge though because it is so vague, i like your title but the photo doesn't say anything about weekend to me...granted neither does my entry but you know, whatever. haha great shot! good score from me :)

This is a fabulous shot. The expression is priceless, the background seperation is perfect, the composition definately strengthens the image. Lighting is very good.

A couple of critiques, things I only mention because the overall image is so strong:

Nose is slightly OOF. You likely know this. It does distract a touch.

Eyes seems slightly milky - it'd be nice if the pupils were nice and black.

The tuft of hair of the left side of his face is a little distracting. Maybe caused by the collar? You might be able to clone this out under Advanced rules, though it might make me nervous to do so.

Great job. A 9 from me.

This could use a little more processing I think, just a tad more contrast and maybe using the airbrush too to get rid of the shaddow under her chin whihc i am assuming is from the flash.

Great portrait. I don't DPC will like a lot though because it isn't glamorized. And for that reason, I like it. It have a real feel to it.
