Wonderful shot! Congrats on your well deserved blue ribbon!
Post actions
Keep looking at this pic. Excellent POV and such a cute little expression with the most adorable eyes. I think the white of the eyes is what really makes it pop. Congrats. Adding to favs.

Wonderful shot, congratulations! I think that light from below was the right choice, it would've fallen too flat on the face if it was from above.

congrats - would have gotten hign marks from me in perspective II as well. only negative is the clipping of the elbow - but minor.
Post actions
congratulations! this is great!

A very nice image, it really tells us so much. I agree with the people who like the eyes, they are spot on.

Congrats! Beautiful shot.

So cute! I like the angle but what really makes this photos is her expression. Interesting take on progress.
Post actions
all and all a fabulous photo! One to have when she gets older..such a precious look!
Post actions
Yeah, actually I agree about the elbow. I struggled with how to deal with it. It seemed to take up so much space because of the wide-angle distortion and it was just touching the edge of the frame in any case. I might go back and rethink the crop though.

I thought this was head-and-shoulders above the rest (pun intended). Such a clear choice for a blue. Great job!
Post actions
Can´t say that I am too surprised this won, that elbow still bothers me but that´s just nitpicking. Congrats!
Post actions

Man, I had this in mind after thinking on this challenge for a while. I simply couldn't think of a spot that I could take it in my house. Wonderfully captured, great lighting. Congrats on your second blue.

perfect storytelling picture. everything is just right (angle, lighting) and the model is fantastic. 8
Post actions
Wow, another favorite! What an awesome perspective and expression. Great tones, too.
Post actions
love it although i think i've seen this before on a commercial.
Post actions
I love the perspective of the photo!
Post actions
Post actions
My favorite of all "growing up" shots. Perfect title as well.
Post actions
Love the sepia toning in this one, nice job. Wish you wouldn´t have cut off just the tip of the elbow like that but that´s just nitpicking. 7 from me.
Post actions
I love this wide camera angle of this shot, I also like how the depth of field is shallow but the focus of the childs face and ages on the wall really show the theme of the challenge, excellent 10
Post actions
this is such a great shot. Love the facial expression! Not sure, but i REALLY hope this scores high. My pick of the competition :O) 9
Post actions
What a great pose! I predict a top ten finish for this one. Good job and good luck.
Post actions
Good idea that's been well shot. The compoition is great and B&W works well.

nice angle, good compisition!

This is the second of two 10's I gave in the challenge. Perfectly executed, and her expression is priceless and sooo true. Great perspeective.
Post actions
Nice DOF and the subject is delightful. Nice Work!
Post actions
This is one of my top 3. I usually don't like kid pictures since they're usually snapshots, but this kid is truly the subject and progressing up.
Post actions
Fantastic execution of this everything of this speaks Ribbon finish. Great Job! 9
Post actions
Love the point of view on this one. Very cute!!
Post actions
Very cute! Great look on your subject, excellent perspective, and definitely meets the challenge!
Post actions
Oh no...another growing kid. I guess I'll give it a '10'.
Post actions
Great perpective and expression. I'd be interested to know why the photographer converted this to monochrome. 7.
Post actions
Really cute, love the tone, great angle.
Post actions
well done, the eyes up are the most interesting thing
Post actions
I do love the perspective here. And her expressionis priceless!
Post actions
The BEST!! one so far! ( sniff sniff) I smell a Ribbon!! Great work! the black and white look is great. the expression on the little ones face is great.
Post actions
I really like the POV and the idea on this one. First time around 8. Coming back.
Post actions
Nice to see an entry that conveys an interpretation of the theme without relying on the title. Composition doesn't quite work for me, especially the prominence of the elbow and the way it's cropped out. Like the choice to go for black and white.
Post actions
6 shots into voting and here's the one I expected to see a lot of. Very nice shot.

Perfect for the challenge. Well executed. impressive POV. Very well done. B&W works well. 9
Post actions
great photo....perfectly fits the challenge.
Post actions
Very well done, the best I have seen so far. Maybe if her elbow wasn't cut off it could be a bit better.
Post actions
yeah, i do that too....its cool to see their progress
Post actions
Great angle on this wonderful whimsical photograph. Perfect exposure and contrast as well. Excellent!

What a wonderful photo! :) The DOF is great, the composition excellent, it perfectly meets the challenge, and the expression on her face is priceless! :D
Post actions
Great shot, good take on this challenge. I like your lighting, it provides this shot with great tonal range. Good choice on the DOF as well. My one suggestion would be to not have cropped out her elbow. Other than that, well done!
Post actions
Awesome angle and execution, well done.
Post actions
Post actions
what an awesome pic! love the focus, expression, perspective and desat, only thing is that her lifted arm seems a little close to the camera, but still a 10 in my book
Post actions
EXCELLENT! This would've worked for perspective too. Probably the best I've seen in both challenges so far. 10
Post actions
Great take on what could have been an all-too-common idea. You have a budding actress there I think!
Post actions
This is my favorite. 100 times better than mine. I had the same idea, but a very impatient model! 10
