 Thanks to my boy, Julien, for redoing this shoot 3 times. That took a lot of patience!

My idea had to do with traditional portrait styles, doing a classic portrait of a young boy eager to eat an apple. Some of the other shots I did had a better expression than this one, but couldn't be used for one reason or another. So, here goes...

I really like this photo. The DOF, the vibrant colours and the dark background all combine to give this a Rockwell quality. I have scored this very highly. Well done indeed.

The image looks a bit grainy, but it's an adorable shot. More personality than most of the other apple shots.

The creases in the background are distracting, try putting the cloth in a drying machine for a while, the heat really helps get rid of those. I use that trick all the time!

WOW - this is a really lovely image of anticipation and childhood innocence. The apples to the left contribute to this theme of expectation with the light on them accenting the anticipated arrival of something. Very powerful and sweet. Hey, wait a sec. That's my son!

Nice image. I love the way the model is dressed. The red curtains on the side of the image really help keep the eye from wandering away. Very nice image that should do very well. <8>

wow, captures the emotion perfectly... nice shot, the only thing is the texture is a little grainy, maybe you did that with edits, or maybe a high iso, but i think it takes away from the shot a little bit... nice shot all the same tho... haha
