 My Nephew and Niece just before our Easter dinner. They are used to having one picture taken - but 30 shots started to stretch the patience a bit!

I'm expecting some very creative entries to this challenge, so it'll be interesting to see how this scores.

This is very nice...great sharpness and color, nice expressions...the tiny bits of white on the boys' shirt distract the eyes a bit (might clone those out if you're so inclined) but overall this is a great subject for a 16x20 on the family room wall. :)

very sharp image; looks as though you have him in a female pose and her in a male pose

8 - Very nice portrait. Tonings seem good. Difficult without knowing the characters of these individuals to comment on that aspect of this portraiture. Might just be the angle/lighting/etc but the 'brother' seems to have a slightly better 'depth' (hard to explain) than the 'sister'. Difficult, but a more finely tuned crop 'somewhere', may have refined this even more, in my opinion.

Eyes are totally oposite! Would have never guessed :) I would have cloned the boys hair (on left) out so it's not just sticking out there.

I really like the serenity and comfort of this

Nice. The focus and light are well done. Great skin tones. They have beautiful eyes. The crop at the top seems just a touch disproportionate with the bottom. (nitpick - take off the necklace) 7

I would have loved to have seen the original...their skin just appears too waxy for me, from so much noise reduction software. Still, a very good portrait.
