Cute kid, nice lighting on the cheek - shame about the sky. I think you could have lost some of the right side of the frame in favour of the left, what do you think?

Ahhhh...so sweet. Lovely photo and great subject. I think the photo itself would have benefited from more contrast. Love the look on the babie's face.

tough shot to nail in a basic editing challenge. the backlighting can be great, but you need something to get some light on her adorable little face, otherwise you end up over exposing (like this one) and lose valuable contrast. if it were advanced editing, you could have under exposed it some, and then dodged her face to bring it out of the shadows. before the fact, you likely could/should have used a reflector or fill flash and avoid the issue entirely. as it stands it's a great photo, that seems to need some contrast to make it less flat looking. if this was the look you were going for - ignore everything i said :)

Excellent portrait/candid. Everything is magnificant about this except the sky seems a little washed out, so much so that it overpowers the trees and their shape and form. I also would've taken the picture without the toy, but outside of that a good picture.

The focus seems a bit soft, try applying USM in post processing. Also try boosting the contrast a bit to... add more contrast :)

a larger image might create a better impact than this ..

I've seen a lot of trees in this challenge, but this is the best one because it shows the branches growing in a "bizarre" manner. Good job!

That's like seeing objects in clouds... I see all sorts of things, mainly a winged dragon (don't ask me to explain) This is closer to the topic than 90% of the photos put there. Good Shot
