You have a beautiful family, there Jennifer! Only overdone NI is on your youngest daughter. Still a great finish and a priceless keepsake.

Hi Jennifer, you rock!

I absolutely love this shot. The cowboy feel, as you know with my work sets this above the rest. I love the feel and the contentment in this shot. The expression on his face shows that he really does have it all. I do agree with the neat image being a bit much, but other than that, you should feel extremely happy with a beautiful family and a great shot. Congrats on top 5.

Excellent shot. One of 4 of my top scores for this challenge.

really nice lighting and composition - but too much smoothing of the faces IMO
Post actions
Nice eyes, but the man's face looks posterized. Perhaps I'm wrong, but the faces look over-processed.
Post actions
well composed, well lit, very nice
Post actions
nice shot..mayve a little over processed for my taste, but stilll nice..7

THis is lovely, however the biggest problem here is the skin of the models looks far too smooth and plasticy. Ideally laying off the neatimage (or noise reduction software) would of been benefical, this shot wouldnt of been awful with a little bit of noise.. Its a lovely BW conversion and a really nice posed shot. I am going with a 7 here, less noise reduction would of upped this at least a point, maybe 2.. well done!!!

Very nice portrait. love the hats :o)
Post actions
pp a little too heavy-handed for my taste. No separation on black hats. Great expressions though, and I like the square composition.
Post actions
Stunning. Nothing to improve.

haha, awesome... a father with only girls? I am giving this a 10 just because that is a lot of work right there! :)

very nicely done, have to wonder why not three black hats, but???? LOL overall 8 from me
Post actions
Works very well as a B&W.
Post actions
Most of the pic's so far have been action or candid, this is one of the few portrait shots. Well done, works in B&W but looks like a bit to much neat image.
Post actions
Very natural expressions and good lighting.
Post actions
Lighting and setup are fine, the picture has got a very professional look. This will probably be a very dear picture to the mother and wife of this family (and to dad as well), but it does not touch me. Therefore, the 7 points I am giving is based solely on technical quality,

a bit cheesy, but good production values. overworked digitally as shadows highlights seem unnatural.

The image is so clean it is almost too clean but I love it. Good choice to use. B&W.
Post actions
I don't know enough about post processing to know what to call it, but the girsls faces are just a little bit too clear...kinda otherwordly. Other than that, a wonderful shot. (7)

One of the best images of this challenge
Post actions
Beautiful work. Very nice tone and clarity.
Post actions
Pretty posing & lighting, but the sharpening/noise reduction is hurting the overall quality of the image. Still very cute.
Post actions
Cute portrait but it looks like you used way too much neat image, their faces are odd looking

At least this is a legitimate portrait. I think what hurts it is the overall flat feel of it. The lighting or perhaps over usage of Neat Image has given them an almost plastic feel. I love the hats and the carefree positioning but it has a certain flatness to the skin. Not trying to be harsh, just constructive. That's why I didn't enter. ;~D

really nice!!! excellent focus and light!!

This is a very nice photo. IMHO it would be a 10 if the sharpening were not as aggressive.
