The darkness in this photo was completely intentional. I must admit that the soft focus is a little too soft. I learned from this shot and thanks for the comments :)

I see the expression more as fearful than pouty, but I don't think that has any effect on the quality!

I think the highlight in the eye might be a little too big and too bright in relation to the rest of the picture. I'm also not certain I like the direction that the eye is looking -- perhaps that has something to do with the highlight. I like the lighting otherwise, but wish the skin tones, where visible, were a little bit brighter and closer to "18% gray." (If they are already there, and they just seem darker, then maybe closer to 18% perceptually -- if that makes sense.)

I love the crop on this photo, the way the highlight of the face makes a diagonal line through the photo. It's a perfect expression of the title as well. As a mother, I've seen this look a lot!!! Great job.

It's a little too dark for me. Great idea, though
05/30/2002 06:48:00 PM
Nice use of negative space. I think maybe I could have been happier with a little more detail, a little less dark. The darkness definitely gives it a mood, but I think as it is it strikes me as more menacing than pouting.

Nice composition, but seems a little out of focus on the bottom half of the subject.

Great creative shot...conveys simply, but powerfully, a lot of emotion. I like the gracefull lines the child's features create against the background. Nice pic!

This has a lot of character, in a very dramatic photo. I like it a lot.

You may have done it intentionally, but the focus is too soft for my taste.
05/28/2002 06:43:00 PM
Nice...
05/28/2002 05:50:00 PM
neat, but a tad too dark
05/28/2002 03:40:00 PM
Very creative, well above average
05/28/2002 03:14:00 PM
Great look and nice effect! Perhaps a bit too soft though?
05/28/2002 01:49:00 PM
High impact photo, but I think it's tooo dark. Focus seems soft, was that on purpose? More light and more face might have been nice.

I like the way you framed this shot, and the b&w. Catching the light in the eye is great, too. I would've preferred the photo to be a little lighter and sharper though.
05/28/2002 06:54:00 AM
I like the idea here. Having the face along the diagonal of the photo works well. The forehead seems to have copped a lot of the light, which tends to emphasize it a little too much for my liking
05/28/2002 02:50:00 AM
Excellent job with capturing emotion in this shot. It seems just a tad dark, but I suspect you planned it that way. One of my top 10 shots for the week.

Good shot in the Stieglitz style. The lighting is a bit awkward to my eye, but it also adds interest.
05/27/2002 09:17:00 PM
a little more light would be better. but very nice anyway!
05/27/2002 08:29:00 PM
Poor baby... I feel the same way when I have to have my picture taken. This is an excellent photo. I really like the shadows and the lighting on the eyes, forehead, and lips. It captures the emotion that seems to be pouring from the child.
05/27/2002 05:57:00 PM
lol I've seen that look before.
05/27/2002 05:51:00 PM
Just a little bit too dark. Good concept, though.
05/27/2002 01:25:00 PM
The pix really needs to be more in focus.
05/27/2002 08:48:00 AM
Scary.
05/27/2002 07:51:00 AM
Nice portrait, but too dark.
05/27/2002 02:57:00 AM
Emotion captured. Something that is very hard to do. Perfect detail and lighting. It doesn't get much better than this.
