Curves and curls

I think this is a great photo. But you missed the boat just a little. Convert to black and white for a really striking image, especially with the halo of her hair around her. B/W would probably really make the image pop.

Sorry, I think you went to too much trouble for too little return. The grain effect is barely discernible. The petals beside the center of the flower are sufficient without the writing to convey the message.

Intimidating Introduction

I don't know about the grain effect, but I really like the eye contact of your subjects. The lighting is right out of a picture from another era.

Great capture of the subject. Good title too. I like that the color is still present, but the grain effect makes the picture look like a photo in a pulp magazine.

Great Sepia tone. I'd like to see the barn fill the frame a little more.

Marvelous, Love the inclusion of the easel and artwork. The look is old, but the soccer goal reminds us this is the present

Great idea. I think perhaps you didn't think the composition thru completely before shooting the pic.

The lighting is kinda flat. Additional light from one side or above might help.

Composition wise. With all the Ducky refrences on this site, put the 'baby' robots in formation behind the mother with perhaps one lagging far behind.

Keep up the good work.

Excellent concept. My one criticism is that the contrail on a plane does not come off the tail, it comes off the engines, so your placement is incorrect. Most people wont realize this, but I grew up on an airbase. Great job and near seamless insertion of the planes, keep up the good work.

Now that you've finished it. Great Job!

My question is, why is the 'everyday' image the one in the mirror? This type of image is usually one of introspection and the person contemplates theirselves as something idealized and wonderful, or am I trying to read too much into the pic?

Keep on trying, you're doing great.

I like the eye contact with camera, too bad the kitten didn't look too. I'd like to see a color version.
