Not to sure whether this meets the challenge!!!! The white mussle area semms to be a bit over exposed.

tcherring - I sent you a private message to explain this, but you haven't changed your comment yet...

The face isn't a child, it's me!

Edit: Thanks for revising your comments. I wasn't annoyed that you misinterpreted the photo... I was just surprised :). The way you saw it is perfectly valid and I'm glad you were so inspired by it. How could I not be? :)

CRITIQUE CLUB - REVISED

Thanks for the explanation! I'm a bit embarrassed! Okay, let's try this again. By the way, you are very lucky to look so darn young (I just hate people like you! just kidding)

First of all, when I first saw this, I thought it was a child kissing the hands of his parents. It looked very "nuzzled" and pure, so I didn't even consider it was you. I'm sorry about that. I don't want you to think I didn't love it, because I did. In fact, this particular photo gave me millions of ideas for family portraits, so either way VERY WELL DONE!!! There are so many possibilities with this photo, which proves it's a wonderful shot.

LIGHTING - As you mentioned, the lighting could have been a bit better, but it still works for this mood. Again, the focus is on the ring,and I still would have moved it in just a touch. Looking at it now, it does work for this though!

FOCUS - Just a touch grainy, but it works for this. YOUR eyes seem a bit dark giving you a bit of a sad, reflective look. Again, lighting would correct this. This could be what you were after though. To brighten the mood, I would put a little more light by your eyes. The profile is nice because you caught your eyelashes on the other side as well ( a lot of people have a hard time capturing the other eyelashes, so that's fantastic)

BACKGROUND - Thanks for staying with a solid color!! I think this would look stunning on black with soft light as well.

CHALLENGE - I still see this as a gorgeous family shot. I love your lips on the back of his hand. It's funny, because I see this as innocent love, nothing sexy or overly romantic, just very pure and innocent which I really like.

TOUCH-UPS - After the challenge, if this is a photo you are considering keeping, you might want to adjust the lighting, and hide the stray hair floating in the back. Really, this one was hard to critque because I love it. Well done!

A not very surprising low finish, but a great shot - lots of rhythm!

Hehe, I knew this one would score pretty low, but I got so sick of the style of photos I've been taking lately. I wanted to break out and do something colourful, unfocussed and wild.

The "overprocessed" look is there because I had to use despeckle. My camera has a horrible scattering of hot pixels on long exposure shots. I like the end result though, personally.

I think you may have over sharpened this a little too much. On my monitor a faint out line shows right around the belly.Good idea though. Wish I could do that.

Another one near the top of our camera list!? Damn you, I have to become a member to catch up. I'm still at the top though :) jk. I really liked this shot, especially how you switched the hands around. I thought it was great that it confused people.
