    Let me just say I LOVE the first one! Of course I have this soft place in my heart for all things children, but to me this one is fabulous!

    Good job on the others too, but the shining eyes of the first shot takes the cake.

    Justin,
    Justing

    I like the #2 in the series, but this one (#1)... well...

    The PP on the eyes is quite distracting and completely ruines the otherwise very good shot - the eyes look completely unnatural (as though artificially attached). Also, it seems that you've done some skin softening/smoothing too (which I don't like either). In other words - I frankly don't think the original actually needed any PP at all...

    Don't mean to sound harsh - just my honest opinion.

    Best regards,

    Alex

    Thanks, I actually did no extra work to the eyes(alot of the people the had a difintince in some nutriation/things in the water that made a glaze on their eyes, making them like mirror pretty much especially the kids but sadly causes them to go blind at a later age. I only adjusted levels, and selective colors.

    I did do some skin softening, but only on the last profile in B&W, because the lighting situation was so harsh.

    It looks like you had a really good relationship with your subjects. Very nice portraits. :):
