tonal range could be improved in post processing. too gray. needs blacker blacks and brighter whites.

I kept postponing voting on this shot because I wanted to give it proper attention. I think it is a very sweet pose of a loving mom and baby. I like the choice of all white clothing, props and background with varying textures for contrast and I like the use of natural light although I think the shot could have been exposed better. The overexposure from the window and on mom's neck and the baby's elbow is unfortunate. Mom's leg seems kind of splayed out so that she doesn't look like she is in a comfortable position. All that aside, I'll rank this a 6 because I appreciate what looks like a reasonable attempt to make a very special portrait. I think tighter cropping, keeping parts of the window and rocking chair, but focusing on mom and baby, and controlling the light better would go a long way toward making this a great shot.

I like the tight framing. good tones and good use of DOF. The sray hair across her face is a nice visual component.

I like this portrait and the monochromatic treatment, but I think the tomal range could be better. Darkening the shadows and other dark areas would give it a richer feel.

great silouette and great job in your cropping and framing. she really looks like she is supported by the image border.

great moment captured with good clarity considering you were shooting through glass. I love the bubbles and the details in the fur!

very clever. excellent color and composition. The filters help break up the pile of noodles and create some structure and color contrast for the scene. good choice of different color and textures in the pasta.
