Very cute. :-) Really a nice angle for this shot - works very well with that gray sweater forming the background. Now since this is DPC, pimp those eyes! (heh heh heh)

I think it's very well exposed - not every shot has to be massively contrasty, nor is every day a perfect sunset/dramatic clouds in sky kinda day. What I liked about this when I saw it was her smile. She strikes me as very self-confident and just a bit of an imp. And though it's probably not politically correct to mention, I liked the indications that she's growing into early womanhood - to me, that's very sweet. As with a lot of my shots, if I like it, and if the person who's picture it is likes it, it's golden, regardless of what everyone else thinks. From a DPC perspective, this will indeed be seen as a snapshot. To you and your cousin, an excellent memory of a great afternoon together. Which is the better of the two? :-)

Very, very nice. He really looks handsome, which I assume is the point of most headshots! I like your shooting angle and lighting. His face seems the teensiest bit soft to me, though the eyes are clear.

feels a little snapshotish. The girl is just standing there, and seems very disconnected from the background. I do like her simple smile though, it would make a beautiful closer-up shot.

Nice, simple portrait. I like the background she is standing :)

Nice "snap." Not up to site standardards.

A little saturation might brighten the background up a little.

good light, nice subject, but too much dead space on the sides. I would suggest portrait composition and not landscape.

It's good that you've positioned the subject off-centre and she's well exposed.
