That lovely bokeh enhances the color of her eyes beautifully!

Really nice mood captured! I'd love to look into those eyes more though. By dodging in the highlights (of the eyes), and then perhaps burning back in some of the shadows, you will increase the emotive quality of the portrait a great deal. (I use a very low strength when dodging and burning on portraits - usually 1-3%.) I'll bet that this would also look great in black & white.

Day 6 - Lisa

Very pretty pose, and the glint of silver in her earrings is a nice accent. I might try desaturating the yellows a bit, as the cast around the outer contours of her face is noticeable. I'm glad that she likes it! It's a very flattering portrait.

So, you're 29, with FIVE young kids and you still manage to get your shots in before everyone else and look like you've just returned from the beauty parlor! Bottle it up and I'll buy a few cases! ;)

Great crop and perspective on this one, Neil. I like the hint of color left in the picture.

You captured a sweet look! This might also look nice cropped in really close on all sides to put the focus entirely on her face. Maybe try a little desaturation of the yellow tones as well. She's a cutie!

Oh, the sweetness continues...your children just melt my heart. This is really nice in profile with the light on his face, fading back to shadow. Those curls are to die for!

Wow! This is great Mario...dark, brooding, mysterious. I'm torn between wanting just a hint more light in your eyes and loving it just the way that it is. Hmmm...I think I love it just the way it is. :)
