Bold contrasts and cool perspective distortion. The framing doesn't *quite* work for me.

I liked this one. The B&W sets the rays of the sun off and the overall feel is wintery despite the clear evidence of plants that are thriving. I like it.

Quite a tribute to your daughter. Remember that children are most times reflections of ourselves. You will have many interesting years ahead of you, I suspect.

What a star. Your daughter's expression is priceless and I'm with the others on the focus/oof areas...very clever (it's the genes clearly, in part).

Really like this.Her expression is great, and as Rod noted, her hands at the bottom are spot on.

Very nice Todd. The downcast eyes lead the viewer to expect something in focus below, but it's still a surprise. I like how you've included her fingers at the bottom too - it completes the image very strongly.

Lovely store and great portrait with her presenting her work. The subdued lighting really works here as well.

Great job, I like this idea.

three words: Love the light.

You have such wonderful light in California, and you use it wonderfully. Particularly like the light on the geranium.
