It's not as sharp as I would have liked it but I love their expressions and the framing.
The patch is to correct a weak eye by covering the strong one. I thought of removing it before I shot these, but I want her to feel beautiful no matter what she has to wear, I also feel it gives the shot character.

i really like this picture. by cutting off parts of each head it really gives the feeling of the picture filling the fram and then spilling over.

This is an interesting composition, but a bit too soft focus. I can't discern what is covering the eye of the girl on the right and wonder if it's relevant in some way (because it's in the shot). I like the expressions on the faces - lighting is a bit too flat - contrast is OK but the border is a bit overpowering. [5]

i like the composition, and its overall a very nice photo, but the focus seems slightly off, and the border is a bit big imo, but still a 9

Interesting symmetry with one eye from each childs. However two have their smiles - one cut off, and the other doesn't have it in the shot at all. I would have gone for more balance. 8

was the eye patch intentional so they all have one eye, or should she have just been the one with only half of her face showing?

Composition: My eye is drawn to the lower child's hair, which I'm not too keen on (the eye drawing, not the hair!).
Technical: Nice focus and colour. Good lighting too.
Meets challenge: Yes
Overall impression: Nicely done, but not quite sure on the composition.

This is good! Only showing one eye of each of the girls creates a cool effect. And one girl with the patch over her eye just does it for me. Sepia is a good choice and the softness is not negative here. Very well done!

Nice photo and very cute kids. I like your composition and the absence of color works well.
