Here's one of my favorites (excuse the large watermark..).
Kristen, in "my eyes " this is absolutely awesome. And I am usually not very enticed by the myriads of wide-eyed kids' portraits out there. But you captured something special here,kudos and congrats!

So many great shots and expressions here. I'm sorry not to single any particular shots out, but just too many good ones for one quick relpy. So kudos to all!
Cheers,
Mark
What the heck, if I'm going to join in these mini-challenges, I've got to start somewhere! Since I had some material on hand for this new topic, this seemed as good as any time to jump in.
Below are a couple of images that were extracted from some head shots I recently took of young actors. I thought both of these actors had great eyes. You can tell that in the first one (green eyes), the subject was smiling more broadly. In the second one (blue eyes), the hair on the right, to my eye, added something to the composition.
I could poke plenty of holes in these images, but would be interested in seeing if others notice the same things that I do -- or a completely different set of critiques ;-).
Canon EOS 7D ........ 24-105 f/4L | 50 f/1.4 | 70-200 f/2.8L IS + 1.4x II TC ........ 580EX
Supported by: Benro C-298 Flexpod tripod, MC96 monopod, Induro PHQ1 head
Also play with: studio strobes, umbrellas, softboxes, ...and a partridge in a pear tree...

*Winner mini challenge #96 |EYES|*
Sorry for the Tardy followup!
first heres some in no particular order the at caught my eye, to many to pick all my favorites though!
I like these Allen but your models all seem tired
Cant go wrong with wrinkled skin!
I dont usually like these, but this is cool
This is cool, your others seem a bit dark in feeling, but I did say show emotion:D
great expression!
Nice! great dof, not easy with kids
This is cool, you should ditch the purple glint in the right eye it really draws the eye.
Wide angle dog shots are cool, I like this.
I really want a proper macro set up.
A couple things I notice about these images: there both a little soft, colors are a bit unnatural, and they are slightly noisy.
Dave really like your wildlife shots, bout all you could find up here in Maine was a squirrel if I remember right I remember Gumby, had one as a kid!
Bambi! I like the spiral stair case as well but its a few stops underexposed and too contrasty for me(I have 3 and 5 year old girls so I see this scene a lot)
Love this comp! Victoria looks great as well nice idea!
I like it! You cut off her rings:cry
Sorry wish I had the time to comment on all of them!
Ok so I think these are my top favorites:
3. ghinson love the light and ripples on this!

Does the Mini challenges have 'Within the date" rule like the DSS Challenges do?
I am likely not looking in the right place.
NEVERMIND.. I Found it!

Getting burped for the first time. (Obviously not thrilled to be in the world quite yet)
I'll have my first go at one of these challenges but I can't compete with what I see here. Aside from my Avatar (my grandson, BTW) I'll add these:
Pink Flamingo, Fort Worth Zoo, Fort Worth, TX
Blackbuck, Fossil Rim Wildlife Center, Glen Rose, TX
"Harvey", Fort Worth Nature Center
