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.

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]
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
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!
