I love this one, knowing how beautiful they grow up to model for you again, Sandy.

All of your models seem so happy. I know that's because you make them that way just by being you.

Well, at least you finished above 6, although we all know if deserved much higher. I'm totally shocked at that 1 and 2 vote. I'm off to suggest a "Twin Portrait" challenge now :)

Very nice shot Sandy! The composition is excellent! I really like the perspective you chose. The detail and clarity of their features is really strong - focus is spot on and really supports the closeness of the shot. Very well done exposure - their presence is felt and not just seen. Excellent!

Again another wonderful portrait study of twins, and done so masterfully. I loved this one, and again, wish it had done better, as it is just so good. Sandy I loved it, and I know you also love it, as you can tell, re the wonderful capture that you have taken.....

Hey, I gave you a 7. Don't know what these other people were thinking. :) That's a shot to give out to family, for sure.

You're going to laugh when you see my rule of thirds entry!

Cute girls very strong appearance about them. Although the image seems flat overall, needs to upp something levels/curves to make it more dramatic.

Nice compostion, boost the contrast to make it pop more, because the girls skin tones are a bit flat.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

A very nice portrait shot of these two sisters. I like how the composition is set up where they are laying with heads together but from opposite directions. To me, this communicates that they may be sisters but they are two individuals with different interests, likes, and dislikes. The tonal colors on their skin is wonderful and the illumination/lighting is very good too - no shadows all even lighting. My only critique on this photo is that the girl on the left has placed her hand on her shoulder which breaks up the compositional symmetry of the photo.

Awesome, I'll second that.

Ah, they are so sweet! This is such a great angle for a portrait. It's really nice how the one twin's necklace complements the other twin's straps - makes such good lines leading to their faces and those gorgeous eyes.

I know these twins! Nice shot, Sandy - I love the way the light just creeps up on each side of them, gently painting their hair just a touch. Very lovely shot of these lovely young ladies!

What an ususual idea photographing twins for this challenge. I just love the composition, re the girls head to head. You have captured these girls so beautifully, and this image and has so much class, warmth, and sheer brilliance. It just "Glows" all over with a special touch. I do hope it does well in this challenge, as it is so differant.

Hand and angle of the top girls head detract from the shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 09/01/2006 10:28:22 AM

I really like this picture. I don't think you needed the hand in the upper corner however.

Beautiful portrait! These girls do look so awesome!Very Very Cute!! I lOVE the pose, the color the tight crop, and lighting. Awesome Job!!
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I find the make-up distracting..they are beautiful and don't need it. Perhaps softer lighting if they want to be all glam ( as young girls are want to do !)

What a nice soft innocence. The eyes are just to die for.

these two are just too cute, and I love how you've pulled in for a tighter crop.
