this is sweet....the very vague smirk....but wish it was just a bit more clear

yes very blurry ;(

this is cute but oh how much I would love to see it from the side

awwwe

yep cute

I wish I could see the expression on his/her face behind that book.

this is a great photo....great quality, great depth of field, great subject....but not sure about "awwwwe cute"

sleeping kids always cute and yes, I'm sure they are BOTH kids. LOL

cute kid but I can't quite figure out what is disturbing about this picture. It would have been much better if you took his picture without the glass/bubbles in front of his face.

awwwwwe!!!!! blue eyed kitty......yes so cute!

I love the right hand side of this photo.....the person's hair in the sunlight next to a cute kitty, but the left hand side is very dull and flat. I would try to mess with either curves/levels or crop part of the hand out.

this picture is very blurry

I would put some texture/pores into her skin.

WOW!

Nice job! wow

this is great! Yes, I would add some pores to her skin though to make it REALLY great because it does look a bit fake.

everything looks great except for his left eye. It is still blurry.

okay, I don't want to come off rude, but there is a lot to this that needs to be fixed. The absolute first thing you need to fix is the color! :O I know Michael Jackson went from black to uhhhh wanting to look white, and people get darker from tanning and such. BUT this guy went from one spectrum to the other! I would start over by keeping the color the same but taking out the wrinkles by possibly cloning in small portions.

Congrats! I am so glad that a person who followed the directions to the tee got this

I think more of the wall should have shown with this--------------- "Derelict buildings......images of old falling down properties"

I debated on commenting...................heck I'm going to do it anyway. As much as I like this photo, I believe there wasn't enough of the background showing "Derelict buildings ..... images of old falling down properties"

this place gives me such a warm feeling for some reason. The ruralness and farmhouse style just makes me want to go lay down in front of it and look at the clouds and dream for hours.

makes me feel clostrophobic

I love the feel of this. beautiful.

beautiful!

the quality of this photo is great!

There are two in this contest that I really like because all of the requirements were met, but this one stands out because of the vibrant colors.

yeah, you would wouldn't you Adam

love the quality of this photo

was he playing under a tree? poor guy looks like he has no room to play his instrument.

I think it is the stars in the background, but this sure does give a dreamy feeling.

you are so lucky!!!! I love them. great photo!

just a suggestion....never take photos with smoke between you and the subject. It flattens EVERYTHING. You want depth to your pictures to give the viewer a feeling as if the subject is right in front of them. Smoke, fog and built-in flashes make photos flat almost always.

it kind of gives me a nostalgic feeling for some reason. I like it.

great photo! The angle, the quality...not dreamy to me but I'm pretty sure a young gal would find him dreamy

I love the quality of this, the subject matter and the colors!

nice photo

The clarity on this is amazing and it is GREAT except one thing....It is not black and white. I checked it out and there are reds, yellows, and magentas in there big time.

this is amazing!!!!

love it!!!

I love this! I would hang this in my bedroom!

this is so cute! I would love this in my bathroom. I have a picture of two girls with a boy in the middle and the are sitting on old steps and it would just match.

much better!

wonderful I'm glad you changed it. My vote will definitely be higher now!

P X L eyes rocks

it looks a lot better now...clearer.

let me rephrase that...I like the colors and how it looks like a painting (it would be great on a wall) but not sure about it for a newspaper.

As much as I hate the look of socks that have already been worn.......... and as much as the piece of paper with a heart and a weird scribbling throw this all off.............I really like the feel of this black and white as a whole. Maybe it is the softness of it and the perfect balance of the blacks and whites. It almost disturbs me that I like this photo. lol

Suggestion: try cleaning up some of the lines by her right ear hairline, her left arm and also her left foot. You did great making at making the fabric sheer!
