I shiver at the thought of going to a dentist....poor kids. I'm sure you're gentle with them though.

Hmmm, you don't enjoy it, bet they enjoy it less!

Well composed shot. Working on children is always a challenge. At least they're better off after visiting you than they were before, even if they may not be inclined to see it that way right away.

At least you spend your day by the chair and not in it. I bet you see a lot of frightened little faces!

Nice texture/patter on the glasses. I think a little more contrast would help IMHO.

Couldn't help but notice that no one has answered your question in the photo notes.
Resizing a photo always seems to result in a loss of sharpness. I'm no expert, but I'm willing to believe it's due to the sampling process. For example, if you had a section of the image that was:
lots of white... 'white' 'white' 'black' 'black' ... and more black
and you resized your image to 1/4 it's original size, the new, smaller image might consist of something like:
lots of white... 'grey' ... lots of black
That sharp contrast that used to exist between the white and black is now gone.

So, the generally accepted practice on this site (and even allowed in the 'Minimalist' ruleset) is to apply a sharpen filter AFTER you resize the image.

Other than the slight lack of sharpness, this image is amazing! Awesome job on the lighting, composition, and greyscale conversion. Keep up the good work.

Elegant moments. The art of daydreaming is well worth cultivating in children. Nice portrait.

Nice symmetry! A bit on the gray side - by that I mean if you look at the histogram, the lightest point is fairly low. By using levels to get a bit more light, this has a better impact. A dark background would probably give it a bit more punch, too.
