Absolutely -adore- this image, its precious that all the little ones are in blue and have curly hair/same color hair - I love the yellow bucket thrown into the mix it works as a centerpoint for the eye- and keeps drawing me back into the center of the photo even as my eye starts to wander towards the other two subjects... lovely composure- nicely cropped/ this i predict will do very well! :-)

LOL -adorable- and great focus; I probably would have cropped some of the height out of the image because I love that silly-expression and how sharp it is; that is definatly a child captured being a child :-D

as a fellow redhead- i'm rather biased and immediatly love this image ;) I would reccomend a light brush under the eyes to lighten the shadows (dodge/burn) inside the eyes to really make them pop or use a diffrent flash in the future perhaps? :-) remember the challenge allows for advanced editing! :-) perhaps crop or clone out that incidental blue thing in the background above her head :-) i hope this does well !

What They're Good For

I love this- for both the comical and the action factor (10) -- that said - since its advanced editing i might have sharpened/ dodged and burned a bit more - i love the composition and the shape of the child the lawnmower and the grass (triangular) it keeps the eye in the frame; very nicely done - good idea :-)

this is a lovely portrait; the adult jacket on the back of the chair really pulls the browns and warm feelings out in this image; puts emphasis on the size of the child (smaller than a grownup)/ its wonderfully composed; in focus flawlessly; excellent job! :-)

very sweet; the softness of the fabric/ hat/and skin just makes the pic overall adorable and snuggly; I love your tonal range choice here- from pinks to purples etc; and the pose is very cute :-) I might have chopped it a tiny bit closer on the left (hat side) towards the elbow/arm more but thats me :-) -- gave this a 10

LOVELY- i can even imagine the colors which because this photo is so nicely composed it does not need! :-) - the black and white conversion was very well done- it defiantly draws the eye to the subject and what she is looking - happy birthday!! :-)
