We all have parts that we do and don't like....never see that as a fault.

This is a real cute shot, I think the tightness on the crop works very well here for the conveying of the expression on each of the childrens faces. There is a slight glare in the glasses on the boy. Just be careful of that more than anything. Awesome first shots though, I think any person would be happy with these.

This is really cute, Next time instead of head on try and get more of a side shot off. I think this would give you a better DOF and positioning. Also need to iron your background. The wrinkles draw away from your very cute subject.

Doing this photo again might be a "gamble"

I am suprised this shot scored as low as it did. I think you conveyed everything well. Its nice and sharp and your technicals are good. Personally I think it would do well as a stok image if you reshot it without the Aviator ace in the flop.

Keep shooting

This is a really good shot, good choice in DOF, I am glad you kept it so you could kind of make out the body once it goes into blur. The focus is dead on and its nice and sharp. Good Job!

GTG. elephant

Comment by PHOTOKID:
Good Subject, I would attempt to crop a bit on the left to get the weird color removed and then also crop to the right more to off center the elephant a bit IMO its just a bit to centered for my tastes. Or maybe a selective color with the overexposed area highlighted.

The positive things I can say is other than teh overexposed area (which I understand is time of day and cant really control that) The sharpness and clarity are both very good and range of focus is great also.

This is a very powerful triptych. You really know how to throw an emotional punch in your images!

And I agree with what everyone else has said about how good it is for you to use this "challenge" to express yourself at your whim, not a random theme. I've done that quite a bit, too, mixed in with the more typical photographs.
