Pastel Garden

I don't normally like pic that have heavy filters on them. This on seems to work with the subject matter and if feels very painterly. However, that red backpack jumps out at me and not in a good way. I think it would have been perfectly lovely without the subject.

Awsome picture! However, this is so not pastel!!! This is just the opposite. I hate to vote low since the quality of work is so high, but it just does not meet the challenge. Good work anyway.

Bricks & Satin

great shot, but it looks way over retouched. The bricks and stairs look very odd. I would have liked it to look a little more real.

I love the photo but not the title. Good thing we don't score based on that.

I would like the photo much better if the baby was sleeping. I realize that newborns are hard to photograph, but this facial expression leaves a little to be desired. ALso your light might have been better moved around the other side of the subject. You never want to light up at a subjects nose. Even if they are laying down. Your catch light should almost always be seen in the top part of the eye. If you see it in the bottom part then you know you light could be better. Just a thought.

I would have darkened the wood in the foreground, it would really draw your eye to the subjects. Insead my eye goes between the boys and the foreground. I think if you fix that I would really improve your shot. Very nice moment.
