This shot looks very familiar. Nice close up shot, I would have preferred the background to be totally black. (On my monitor, I can see some shapes, and some lighter areas in the background that are a little distracting. )

Wonderful photo, despite a little more background images than I typically like. gave it a 9.

I like the idea but just a little more detail of the eye would improve this shot quit well.

It is uncanny how similar this shot looks to //www.dpchallenge.com/image.php?IMAGE_ID=10012 that shot from the body parts challenge. It doesn't really look like the same kid, but I'm wondering. The one from the body part challenge looks like he's got a freckle by his mouth, and this one doesn't, or it's hidden in the shadow. I'm curious to know if they are the same, or long lost twins. About the shot. Nice job! The background isn't distracting, the angle and framing/cropping is great, and the focus and clarity are just awesome. Really excelent shot. Good luck in the challenge.

Interesting angle. Not sure how I feel about the photo being split in half. For some reason it feels slightly underexposed.

Nice profile shot, I think I have seen this or a similar shot done in a few past challanges with different back grounds, maybe we all here at DPChallenge just have cute kids!

The background would be better off purely black, but without spot edits I understand that might not have been fully possible.
