Really nice family shot. It has a real pro feel to it with the grey back drop. Thats a good idea may be I should paint one of my walls grey so I can do the same!
From a photography perspective I would try to boost her eyes a little bit, slightly whiten the teeth and maybe use my magic wand to clear away some of the loose hair in the top left corner. At the time of shot I would have the model (your daughter) to pull back those two long strands on the right of her face. Then again she might want them there after all what do I know about womens hair.

great subject for street photography. I think that you have too much contrast as the wood grain of the guitar and bricks in the background have lost the detail. I would pull that back and if this was a raw file add some more clarity to improve the details in the mid tones. Its great to get the reflection in the window but I would have shot it at a different level so that the street light would not meet at his eyes.

In the Eyes of a Child

really good pic this one. If I am looking at this with a very critical eye might say that the leading shoulder is slightly washed out. I would also try desaturating the reds of the door frame a touch to see if it helps tell the story.

Smoke Break

I really like your shot here. I don't think it is your best one that you took for the D-Day collection though with the smoke it does have a real 30/40's feel. I would have tried for a darker background but with the smoke that might be slightly hard.

I quite like the photo in terms of composition, tone and the depth of field, lovely. I don't know what you are trying to do with the overlay though. My take on overlays is that they should add to the shot while not covering up the main features. Here I think I would either go for something rather soft as in a dream or go over the top and give it a real goth feel.

really good job with the conversion and the border. I like the symmetry of the lamp posts coming up from her shoulders. It looks like it was a really bright day esp with all that snow so the model is squinting a little bit which detracts from the shot a little bit and I cannot think of an easy way to avoid it in those conditions normally I would use a diffuser to block the sunlight, here I doubt that would work.

I really like these types of portraits, makes me want to travel so I can go meet these interesting people and take their portraits. I really like your depth of field, i think you may have missed focusing on the eyes as they don't look as sharp as the rest of the face. Of course he may have cataracts. It is good to see that you lit this side on, maybe the use of a reflector would have helped as well.
You should also try a mono conversion of this as his beard will look spectacular in it.

lovely mood in this shot. It would have been nice if you have got the bid a little bit tighter.

nice studio shot, i dont know about the hand position though. I may have tried to not block so much of her face. Maybe even use the hand to frame the face with her index finger blocking the part in her hair

I really like the pose and the thought behind the shot. I am not so keen on the post production work, for me I feel like you have over done it and you are lacking detail in the hair. This could have happened from you over smoothing or using negative clarity if this was a raw capture.
