vignetting not allowed, a small border are allowed in this contest, that is quite a heavy border, IMO

I really like the lighting of this. Did you add lighting, or was this just your exposure settings?

The lighting and tonality of the shots is very good, however, the focus appears to be a bit soft on the second shot. The focal plane appears to be just a few inches behind the subject as the head of the guitar is in sharp focus and the subjects face is not.

amazing

Congratulations on 1st and 2nd place, great shots.

very nicely captured...... lovely expression, lighting as well as bg.......... best of luck......

Goal states "As an exception: a small plain colored border is allowed between the photos"
there is nothing about a border all around.

Thanks Friiskiwi, the border around the image has been removed

We can all relate to that, nice to find use for these images. goes to prove that you need to be careful with what you delete.

I like this one... the "back of the head" shot makes this one different, and a statement most parents can relate to

Nice set

thanks for the comment
