I did a photoshoot with my neighbor's daughters, Haley 12 and Page 11. I thought this had a cool 3-D effect.

TOTALLY, TOTALLY, TOTALLY underrated! This was one of only a couple that really caught my eye in the thumbs enough to click it when the voting started. I love the look and feel. GREAT image, Judy!
Interesting shot but an aquired taste at first glance. Great faces in acceptable focus, nearly 100% of the rest out-of-focus. A bit conflicted about the style, but it could "grow on me."
Beautiful young girls and lovely pose. Nice contrast with the faces and hair. I am not sure about the post processing though it seems to have done something unnatural to the skin and with two such natural innocent beauties I'm not sure that was needed.
I like the high contrast in this photo. Maybe consider a bit of burning on highlights on jeans, as the brightness in that area pulls my eyes away from faces.
I like the captions/faces so the overall composition is very nice. But the image itself is a bit soft adn I would prefer to see this in a shaper image. 5.
