The mood and timeliness of this capture is amazing. I like the way you chose Black & White effect for this. Suits very well.

For this kind of shots, where there is already a frame, I would align the image with the frame as much as possible. Here in this case, the frame of your image looks tilted with the window sill reference. I would avoid that as much as possible. I understand for candids with kids, you will have very less time to think :)

This is nicely composed. The tight closeup and the cold expressions go very well.

I believe the processing could have been better. There seems to be a heavy loss of details in the eyes. I would emphasize on the eyes, so that they pop out and be more prominent in such a tight close-up.

In my opinion, this is the best in Devna series. Simply amazing in terms of lighting, pose, expression, point of view, crop and overall effect.

This is such as awesome shot! Great timing and lighting! Brilliant work. I love your point of view, which is ideal for kids shots. A minor nit-pick would be the right palm being cropped out of the frame :)

Brilliant lighting! Very adorable child :)

Again the crop is little too tight for my tastes. I would leave a bit of room around the subject if I am showing the whole figure.
