This is a stunning portrait - great pose, expression and lighting. The texture in the sweater is perfect. Your two-light studio setup could not be executed any better. This model's parents will treasure this moment in time.
Very nice... I like the detail in the hands as well as the facial expression. The lighting though, seems a bit flat. Could be well improved by a bit more shadow.

A good shot of a lovely child but, one I feel which was just that a shot of a child. Good enough in its own right but not one which was taken specificcally for the challenge and therefore does not fit the category well enough to score very well, in my opinion.
This started out a 5 in my preliminary voting and after successive views got bumped 1 by 1 to a 10. I love the simplicity of the photo. The composition is perfect. Focus and DOF are spot on. Colors are fantastic. This feels like a ribbon winner to me. Congratulations.
Yes. This part of a subject draws you in and makes you feel good to look at it. So far, a lot of the pictures have been really boring. This one is refreshing and apealling. What an adorable child.
