Wow, the flying hair just grabs the attention. This is a very nice shot. I like how the male is just a bit away from the group, very contemplative.

A very nice shot. I like how the guy is standing back...shy...or admiring? Great tones in the conversion.

I love the centered composition of this shot. How everything unnecessary is cut off, leaving only an adorable child. The focus seems right on, which really makes her hair stand out too. If I could make one suggestion, it would be to work on the area around the eyes a bit more. You'd be amazed what just a bit of dodging would do to brighten up that area and make the overall photo that much better. I also do two curves layers for the eyes in a portrait too. For the first one, I select the entire eye, feather the selection 3-10 pixels, depending on the resolution of the photo and size of the eye, and then bring the whole curve up in the middle quite a bit. Then, I select just the iris, feather 1-3 pixels, and do a slight "s" curve, darkening the pupil and increasing contrast in the iris. Just a thought. Other than that, very, very nice work.

Makes me wonder what they're thinking. I love the blowing hair.
