 This session was short, but fun. We found out that it's difficult to show both lolly and tongue and make it look natural...

Here's an outtake I also like a lot:



Thanks for the comments! I know there's a reflection of the photographer in the eyes (and less clearly in the lolly). It looked weird after cloning it out, so I left it in. This was by far the best shot, so I'm willing to accept this minor imperfection.

Great use of de-sat, the image in hers eyes is a bit too detailed.

not sure about the desat, or the reflection of the photog in her eyes but I do like the playful expression on her face. good job.

a great facial expression and good use of selective desat (it is often overdone but very well done here!)

Hmmm... OK but not great. The b/w is alright but needs a bit extra adjusting. As far as portraits go, it's great but her skin looks a little dry but this is due to the sharpening i think.

Good job.

she's got a bit of a strange expression. as if she expects the lollipop to taste nasty or something. A bit like "Are you SURE this is strawberry flavour??" I understand the partial desat, can't say I really like it tho.
