Greetings from the Critique Club :)

Children make great photo subjects... especially for the 'cliche' challenge. The pose you selected for this shot also works very well to show some good emotion with the child.

The white balance on this shot seems to be a little strange. There is a good amount of yellow cast from your light source on the subject and on the background. If the camera would not correct this on its own, maybe a little bit of desaturation of the yellow channel in photoshop would correct this for you.

The bit of 'catch light' in her eyes is a nice element :)

The border on this shot is a bit overpowering for me. Your border creates strong contrasts in the image and they attract my eye away from the subject. I understand the effect of 'film' that you were trying to create, but I believe that a border should compliment the photo rather than become an element of it.

Keep up the good work :)

This is a pretty good portrait (lighting, candid look), but the border is very distracting.

I love the pic, but I'm not sure about the border (-1). 7

nice candid. I think the border detracts from the photo though.

Cute. I don't like the border.

Great expression!! Cute kid!! Like the color of her eyes. I don't like the frame.

I don't count off for frames, but this one has to go. :) Really cute expression. Not sure of the circumstances, but the bg color makes the whole photo a little blah so I'd change it if possible. Good even lighting.

You know, her little face is so animated and your choice of border, making it appear to be a frame from a movie just adds to the animation. I absolutely love it. Everything about it is wonderful. 10

That expression is worth a 20 in itself. What a little ham. But I'll tell you up front I do not like the top and the bottom of the photo. To me it destroys a very beautiful, well done photo that in itself deserves a 9 or 10. Enough said.

This would have been much better without the border.
02/03/2003 05:37:29 PM
that border is just a bit too much... just a bit too much...
02/03/2003 12:04:08 PM
great border.She looks a bit on the yellow side but still worth 7

Beautiful child.....

Good picture, very creative.I really dont like pictures of people tho.
02/03/2003 04:09:52 AM
Good composition. I like the expression on her face.

This border probably violates the rules. It doesn't matter though, since it's not going to be a winning photograph.
