Nice sharp photo but the base and background are distracting to the photo. (Nice arrangement, too!)

Cute Cliches

What beautiful smiles! The portrait lighting is well done. If I could spot retouch this one, I would tone down the catchlights in the right eyes of both subjects (compare the right eye to the left eye) but I'm not sure that could have been improved by changing the portrait lighting.

Obviously, you were in the right place at the right time for this one. I'm left thinking that I'd like to know what is just a little lower on the horizon. It creates a tension in me as I view this but the placement of the palm is excellent.

The damage to the flower petals is distracting and I would try to select a better angle in order to avoid background clutter.

Nice handling of high key lighting!

Bedtime Bouquet

The colors in this photograph evoke a memory of Victorian times (although the markings on the nightgown give it away). The soft rose colors in the piano seat and the nightgown compliment each other. It's a nice juxtaposition. I would like to see the same photo with the main light to the left lifted a few feet higher and use a fill light or reflector to dampen some of the shadows of the child.

Nice combination of in-focus and out-of-focus. You've handled the DOF beautifully here. Striking image!

Nicely done and evocative of "the wild west".

Ladies in Red

Well lit but I'd like to see a little detail inside of the main flower. Possibly a small reflector could have opened up this shadow area.
