Window's Gaze

I love this as a portrait. He does look quite noble. And I would have been happy to see more non-humans in the portrait challenge. I wonder if you could have gone a little darker or possibly upped the contrast a little. I love that you can tell he is sitting by the window waiting for someone!

Like Her Mom

I love the light on her face and the green tone of the background and the corresponding green on her tank top. This is a great portrait!

I love the messy hair in her face and the little smile. Very nice soft light on the left side of her face and hair. It might be nice to see a little more of her background.

What a great capture. He is really camouflaged! This is a wonderful shot and I hope it will be appreciated. The only thing that is problematic for me is that the colors are so similar and muted that it loses a little impact. I don't know if black and white would look better or worse. Another idea is bumping up the contrast.

A Branch of Light

Wonderful idea to use lightning as a "branch". I like the slight blur on the grass at the bottom and the crisp shape of the clouds. The color is kind of muted in this shot, I think it might look nice in black and white.

The "youngest" branch of my family tree

Great photo, and my favorite as far as the "child as the branch of the family tree" entries go. I like the whites and skin tones and the perspective is kind of carefree.

Technically this is a beautiful picture. The colors, exposure and pose are all very attractive. For me I would like to see a little bit more personality in a portrait, or at least something that tells you about the person being photographed. Maybe having some emotion on her face would help. Or possibly having the background be someplace that is symbolic or important to her. The bright green of the background is also a little distracting.

Portrait

This is technically a very well composed, exposed and post processed shot. My only suggestion would be to try to create a portrait that conveys something about the person. To me that is the intent of portraiture. Put her in a context, have her show her personality. There isn't enough information here for me.

In Red

I think this is a fun shot with the flower and the pose. The red is too much for me, especially since it clashes a little with the lipstick. I wonder how this portrait would be in black and white. Also, it might be nice to pull back a little, her face seems quite large in this frame.

Beautiful. I love the contrast between the bright colors and her dressy outfit and the grime on the wall and fallen leaves on the ground. Nice faraway look in her eyes. Love her placement in the frame and the triangle she makes.
