Nice portrait. Top 5 in my picks. I like the close crop

Love the eyes! Pretty model but wish she'd redone her nail polish! This is one of my favourite images and in my personal top 3, but I don't expect the picky voters to rate it as highly as I do. An identical post without the hand might do better as I think the brightness of the nail polish in comparison to the rest of the shot which is quite muted may put some voters off. I love it though :-)

Absolutely adorable, and a fun idea. Nice lighting and focus on the eyes. My pick for the blue!

I had this one down as the winner! Sorry you missed out on a ribbon, but congrats on 4th. A fantastic and fun picture.

Nah.. how about cutting? Chop a bit off a plant, dab it in some rooting powder and stick it in water / compost and it grows new roots and you have a new plant. So not dead :-)

Yipee, I struck gold!

The second kid in the background is distracting and it would work much better as a photo of just the one kid somersaulting. No sharp point of focus makes the eyes wander without locking onto a subject

Finally! :-)

Congrats! Would have been a better photo if the test was in clear focus though, and perhaps move to the left slightly so that we could see more of the smiley face in the background

Could do without that distracting blade of grass sweeping across the face of the coin, and a little sharper focus on the coin too.

BATMAN PIN

I really don't get what this image is trying to convey. The crop, reflections, and table top are all really distracting, and the pin isn't in clear focus. Just doesn't do anything for me sorry.
