I love two and three, but maybe that's just the dad in me... Don't really know enough to give critical feedback, and for the parents......keepers!

Number two is a great shot...very well posed and look

Thanks so much for taking the time to look! I appreciate it!

Photos 2 and 3 are the photos of choice here.
1 doesn't really cut it for the fact that she's in a strange position and anything that might "explain" said position is outside the frame. This fact gives the photo a "snapshot"-look, despite the good focus, nice colours, blurred background. But also her facial expression - albeit displaying something like "wary curiosity" to me - isn't the best - all just to my mind, of course.

Great shots! Not a huge fan of 1 though. I think what I don't like about it mainly is that she looks really unamused. Something that you may not have had a great amount of control over though

.

3 is my favorite, no contest. Very personal feel because she's looking directly at the camera and that hair is just priceless. shot very well composed. At least as far as i can see. I'm new at this stuff though.

Three is my favorite, great shot. One has potential, but the composition is hurting it.

I agree with everyone else here, two and three are definitely winners. I think #1 could use a bit of toning down of the pink/magenta colors. Her lips and dress seem a bit bright, and it would also help a bit with her complexion.

I agree with the previous comments. 2 & 3 are the best. I especially like the look of the child in 3.

I like #1 for the fact that it's memorable, part of the moment and very real.

I tend to like images that reflect "real life" or ones that are not so professionaly staged or captured so that they look like they were taken by a pro. I have a very distinct liking for images that are well shot but go against the grain of popular thought on what makes a great image.

I find myself attracted to her eyes, the color of the dress and negative area to the left a little are a little distracting. If it were cropped and in B&W I think it would be even more interesting,

I also like image#3. They are all nice images IMO

But again, these are just my humble opinions

I like #3 the most.

El2 · Nov 7, 2008

I like #3 also. I would maybe play around with the contrast of the picture to bring out the dark parts and white parts of the pictures. Also, I would clone out that pole in the middle it's a bit distracting IMHO. She is cute BTW.

RyanMTaylor · Nov 8, 2008

I didn't even really notice the pole until El2 said that. Now though, it really stands out. I agree and can totally see how that could be distracting. I agree about the contrast thing too. It looks like a lot of the picture is in the mid tones only. I'm curious what your histogram looks like now. Still great shot though. This is just getting nit-picky(sp?).
