One Of These Days...I'll Be Big Enough Too!

Cute kid. Good lighting, composition. Not really my 'thing' in terms of photos, but the expression is well caught.

This doesn't really do much for me. It's nicely toned, although I think it would have worked better without the arc of (shirt? shoulder?) at the bottom center, which is a bit distracting.

Interesting people-shadows, very freaky. I'm actually a lot more interested in the building section visible through the arch and wish you'd shown that more closely. I like the lighting and the image of the arch a lot and the freaky little people shadows actually detract for me because I'm a big architecture geek.

Hmm. The size and angle make the shot feel unbalanced. I understand needing to highlight the size of the bloom on the right but I can't help but feel there had to be a way to make the result feel less awkward.

Inasmuch as the tone on this is about perfect, the angle really bugs me -- actually makes me a bit dizzy. So it's pretty, but I can't look at it. :/

Bone crushingly bad day

I'm kind of afraid to ask where you got this shot, although judging from the rest I'm guessing a local museum. Very nice angle. Not sure how much lighting and other staging was under your control but the light levels are very good and the shot is nice and crisp.

Very prettily framed, and nice light levels. I'm a little amused, though, by the fact that your title suggests a lack of makeup but it looks as if there is not only lip gloss but eyeliner and eyeshadow as well...

For The Line

The expression on her face looks irritated (hey! stop taking pictures of me in my underwear!) rather than the intent I would've expected from the title; I suspect I'm the only one who will be amused by that, though. Strange angle makes the left side (really the right side) of her body seem deformed -- might have been better from a different angle?

Now this is excellent. Unlike some of the B&W photos I've seen, I'm content to view this in B&W rather than wish I could see it in colour; the mist coming off the water and the brick look quite neat this way. Compositionally, angle and distance are lovely; the trees in the left bottom do not distract because the mist in the center helps draw the gaze rightwards. This is by far my favorite of what I've seen so far.

That's a very nice shot particularly in terms of angle and distance. The bright highlights on the trees are perhaps a little too bright. Maybe a darker sepia toning would have helped?
