Very cute. Nice softness to the colors and lighting. I wish her hands were not chopped off.

A wonderful angle for a sleeping newborn. So many photographers get a sort of 'up-the-nose' angle on babies lying down. Great DOF and wonderful shrpness in the face. I love the fist curled up by the face. So sweet. This seems cool and a tad underexposed, though.

I like the high key look here, but the lack of catchlights in her dark eyes (except for the pin-light flash) really hurts the image. Try putting her nearer to a window and watch for light in the eyes before you shoot. I like that you got down on her level for this shot. You captured a great little girl expression. You have a lovely little model.

I think this would look cool with even more space to the right and below the caterpillar. Nice sharpness and colors.

The lighting is great here. Very moody and dramatic. I would have toned down the brightness of the helpmet just a bit. I realize it is a major element in the image, but it really competes with his face. His expression is what really tells the story.

Stunning! Like a painting. The lighthouse light is sublime and I love the sillohuetted trees on the horizon. The clouds conspired with you. I like the oblique line that the clouds make leading the eye to the lighthouse.

Great backlighting! My first instinct was to suggest a less centered composition, but the more I look at it, the more I like him dead center. It is kind of quirky, which suits the image to me.

I like the treatment you did with the muted colors here. It suits the image very well. I love the light falling on her upturned face (and it helps that her chest is shadowed so you don't emphasize the neckline) I wish her feet weren't cropped out, though.

I love the intensity of the expression that you captured here. Although it kind of breaks a rule, I like the flyaway hair cutting through her eye. It sheilds her a little from the viewer and makes the moment seem more private. This is very nice and sharp and I like your b/w conversion. Compositionally, I would like more room beneath her chin and maybe a little more room to the left. It would make her eyes less centered and give her some space to 'look into'.

Your daughter is beautiful. Very nice shot!

I like the centered composition and the dramatic conversion. It looks oversharpened to me. I can see a halo between the dark rocks and the sky.
