This picture came as a surprise. I had taken several shots of my two daughters (Habits are from a show they do in their dance class), I yelled at them, how bout some tude and only one of the girls reacted. The result was this shot showing contrasting attitudes. I love this shot, I think it will do well, either way it will definetly, be hanging in my gallery :)

Looks like you used Neat Image.
The idea itself is a 10 -- the only problem is that I can't imagine this hanging in a gallery or a museum. The picture alone is cute, but without the context of the contest it is a bit empty. 7
Exceptional composition! I think the faces are just perfect. The hands are just a little too soft or over processed for my taste, but the overall work is excellent. 10
The winner!!!!!!!!!!!!
This one really makes me smile. What a wonderful pair of models. Everything about this shot is great...framing, lightly soft focused, contrast, the "sisters", just EVERYTHING! It is so nice to see a 'raw' un-ps's photo. This is why I perfer the limited editing challenges...shows what can be achieved when one knows PHOTOGRAPHY rather than PS skills. A perfect 10 and my all time favorite. Hang this one like it is or remove the clothing blimishes. I would leave the beauty spots on the mischievious sister....adds to her charecter. Congrats, hope we're not disapointed.
My top pick for this one. Just perfect. As a newbie, I owuld love to know later how you achieved the perfect color, softness and clarity of the girls' skin.
At first I was offended by this pic but took my time and gave you the benefit of the doubt (it didn't take that long!). Then my brain kicked in. Pic is sharp, good composition and idea was outstanding.
Beautiful job! The model on the left is so serene and peaceful while the one on the right is so intense. Wait - is this opposites? Just kidding. I just trudged through the entire bunch of submissions - and found your image to be the shining star of the bunch. While I'm not sure the model on the right has quite the right expresion for me, It's still the best of the lot and headed for ribbonland.
