Masterful tonal range and the DOF is just perfect. She is so adorable. Some may not like the composition leading right off the edge of the photo, but I think it still works very well. Only thing I could suggest would to get catchlights in the eyes. Good Job! |

Beautiful! Great B/W conversion, love the tone you picked. I would have dodged her face/eyes just a tiny bit to bring out the details a little but just ignore me, it's a wonderful shot! Hope it's a canvas hanging on her parents wall by the end of the challenge *wink* |

Nice toning. Only improvement I can offer is to lighten the shadows in her eye sockets. |

Good use of the whole frame and dof. I like the tone and the light in general, altough a bit of light bounced into the face and eyes would make it perfect. Nice tone. 8 |

Happy, carefree, childhood days just spend laying in the grass at the park is what this photo communicates to me. The pose of the little girl with her feet raised & crossed and her laying in the grass with head resting in her hands is a classic pose that communicates a carefree moment just enjoying the breezy summer/spring day. I like the sepia look for it adds a nostalgic look and feel to it. And by far it is that wonderful and adorable SMILE that makes this photo such a feel good & happy one. Great shot - bumping up from 7 to 9 to move it into the exceptional good category. |

One of few "young person" shots that I've seen that actually works in this challenge, and doesn't just look snapshotty or as though someone has decided that their baby makes a decent prop. Also a good example of B&W I think, some of the others have been crying out for colour where this does not. |

The contrast in this b&w is very, very good. For a guy that's not really a big fan of kid photos, I'm absolutely amazed by the quality of kid photos in this challenge. This is definitely among the best of those. Great job! |

Such nice detail! From the bits of polish on her fingernails to the embroidary on her pants pockets. This is stunning! The only thing I would have changed is I would have cloned out the piece of grass(?) in her toe. Wish i could give you MORE than a 10.....but I guess that's a good thing, huh? Thanks for sharing! Hope this one wins! |

Good toning. The crop feels a touch close on the side of frame she's looking toward, maybe; perhaps that's just that you've placed her face too far off the strong line. |

Very sweet image. Love the tonal range. Super sharp also. I probably would have scaled back the sharpness just a bit in her hair, which is a bit pixelated. Or maybe that's due to the resize? |
