There is a lot of "life" in this photo. I like this a lot. The close crop and composition is great. The lighting is perfect. This is very nice.

Great photo - Its the eyes that make it for me - they come across far more smoldering than the implied nudity.

Very cute! Like the pose and the catchlights in the eyes, but the eyes don't seem so sharp. Also, it appears there's too much of a light differential between the left and right sides of the boy's face and the shadows are deep under his chin. This takes a little away from the typical light/happiness of kids, for me anyway. You captured the skin on the girl's face excellently - it appears silky smooth!

Any tips on getting kids to sit still?

Excellent work Johnna, and coming back to give you a Member of Week comment. I gave you a 7 on this. I love the tilted head pose. I didn't realize it was a separate mask and paint at first due to the precise alignment and coloring. I also really like how the feathering of the mask matches the flow of the hair so well, and it's good it's a different color so it doesn't blend in.

Awesome, warm, gorgeous. Those are my words here. Cropping off the edges of all the body parts brings me right in to what I need to be looking at, I like this.

I tend to agree with you, I also think some of the more subtly lit shots (low key, etc.) tend to be quite alluring as well. This is a great shot nonetheless. I love the sepia, gives it a bit of extra class, as well.
