The human touch

What an interesting photo! Your model looks almost evil, or maybe that isn't the right word, but certainly far more serious than your average childs photo. The contrast to the fake smile on the dolls face is stunning, the diagonal lines of the hands draw me in even more, and the tight crop is just right. What a great photo.. I've come back to this about five times now... The range of tones is great, lighting is bang on, the lack of catch lights in the girls eyes enhances the feeling... back again.. :-) changed to a 10

Hmmm, do I really have to cut my face today ?

What a neat point of view.. As this image loaded I though it was an odd shape for someone's shaven head! I think the shirt competes a bit too much with the hand/chin, but a neat image for the challenge.. 7

The Thread of Generations

Three Generations or two? Great family photo, although a bit of a loose match for the challenge.. The tones are great, and the poses are lovely and relaxed. 6

The wide angle of this shot is not very flattering for your model. This makes it look like she has a tiny neck/head and huge thighs.. I hope you have some more photos to cherrish from her pregnancy, it's a special time for all.. 6

Awaken Your Senses

A really well done classical B&W nude. I can't offer any advice, just congradulations on the photo, and to your model. Not a really stong match to the challenge, but I do like this image. 9

It's Woody! Great to see him in this challenge as well... :-). I like tihs pose for him, and the bear is cute as well. The light is a little bit harsh for woody's shiny skin, a diffuser or some kind would make this an 8 for me. 7 as it is.. Well done.

Neat interpretation of the challenge.. A little over-exposed towards the bottom, and the bubble wrap is a bit distracting.. Great stuff. 7

" or make the viewer feel your subject" ARGH! Great interpretation of the challenge, I'm not quite sure where your focus point is, but none the less I'm feeling this one for sure. 8

What a graet baby shot... The expression is priceless, I hope you've got this framed on the wall somewhere! A 9. for me.

Sticky Situation

Neat! To me this almost looks like two phtos, the girls portrait, and someone elses hands with the sticky stuff on them in front... I hope you got a photo of the girl without the stick stuff in front... With this lighting it'd make a really nice 'moody' portrait. Capturing the eye looking through the threads of goop is great, and she is showing no emotion towards the sticky stuff.. There appears to be a bit of motion blur or out of focus on her left hand, but that's only minor, on the whole a great photo.. 8 for me.
