Very cute, Rikki! And here I was questioning my own taste in my choice of postcards to you :) This picture is sure to bring a smile to everyone's face in future Christmasses when you haul it out (year after year), and put it lovingly on the mantle. :P

Mother Swan Protecting Her Young
by LVE

Comment:
I wish I could see the mother swan's young. It's a nice shot, but (in my non-professional view) it would be nicer if the swan weren't so tightly cropped . She deserves a little room to swim towards the right. The beak and eyes are really nice colors.

The sky is so cool - how did you do that? I'll have to make this a favorite - it's the kind of shot I've been trying to get for ages (unfortunately without success :-) ... so I'll just fave yours and lay off off my own attempts at "lone tree photography". I hope you can write a comment or send a PM about the sky. Great job.

Beautiful hands, but I wish I could see her whole hand. Love the emphasis of the wedding bands! Touching image.

I've never seen anything like this - amazing color in that sand. Off to Google "Pheiffer Beach" now (no idea where that could be). I think this would also be nice with just the sand and a bit of the water, because for me at least, it's the pink sand that makes this image special.

"Fairy Godmother"

Good idea - nice, different take on the challenge. Looks like it must've been a lot of work to set up! The costume, the colors, the idea - are great. I bet it would also have been striking to have the wand a bit to the side of the godmother's face, so we could see her better. Love the tierra!!

Old-time Color Portrait

She looks like a little baby Shirley MacLaine! What an expression of self-assuredness and great Mona Lisa smile. I agree with jpochard about the color though; a little less yellow in her skin tone might be nice. Also, I'm curious to know what the technique is you used. Looks great!

I also think this is clever! You never fail to impress me with your awesome combination of originality and subtlety. Keep filling your portfolio - I think I better make you a fave photographer. Every time I come here (to your portfolio), I have so much fun!

This is my favorite so far (of about 50 images viewed)! It's got warmth, humor, and good technical aspects: framing, color, and light. This just makes me smile a lot.
