Fabulous! The thumbnail grabbed me and the photo delivers in spades. It's got humor, simpicity, very strong composition, interesting use of duotone. 10 (and note that most challenges I don't give more than one 10)

Cute idea, but I find the selective desaturation too unnatural. Also, the highlights on her face are a bit too bright.

Distance & Length

Tonal range and composition is just wonderful. But there's something weird going on with the trees in the middle. They look like the result of a postprocessing mistake, like if you scale down without using any interpolation, or maybe low quality sharpening? 7 (would be a 10 without the artifacts)

Beautifully done! Full of emotion, and technically solid. Only change I'd make is to crop a little of the left. 9

Great light in the background. Wish that were the main element in the photo, like if you had cropped down to just the upper left quarter.

Very creative! My on nit to pick is the sharp ragged shadow along her jaw. 7

Less is more...

You make her skin seem both glossy smooth and textured at the same time, very well done.

Great expression! Wish her face were really sharp. I would also have gone with a looser crop at the top of the frame, getting the curve of bottom in the frame. But lighting and shallow DOF is very good. 7

A Simple Love

This one gets the only 10 I'm giving out in this challenge. It's the simplicity of the image and the baby's eyes that have me hooked. The perfect smoothness of their skin contrasts beautifully with the only other texture in the image, the unruly hair. You should be very proud of this exquisite image.

Nature's perfect design

Wonderful tonal range! Could be a text-book example on why less saturation sometimes works better than more.

The texture of her freckles and the moss is also a great combination. The unruly hair is a nice touch, totally appropriate for the natural surroundings. Not thrilled about the bland expression, but can't think of a more appropriate one. 9
