Wonderful image, could be spot lightened a bit in the face and I wish the border didn't flatten the top of her head. The lumpiness on the underpart of the arm on the left of the image looks like digital bush marks (Blur brush?). I do like the border here. Couple minor improvements and I can up my rating.

I'd hate to use that water fountain after the fingerpainting session! Nice candid shot, well composed. I wouldn't have put so much of the fountain into the picture though, it would be better to have the top of her head in there.

Kids and dirty hands go together so well. It seems they always find a way to get stuf all over them. This reminds us all that kids don't shrink when they are washed and that we should be more open to their expressive ualities and the marks on the walls. They all wash.

I don't know exactly what look you were going for. But the focus is great. The lighting is nice. The angle works well with the picture as well.

Interesting shot. I like the look of concentration. I only wish the focus was better and the shot was a little wider. Still, it held my interest.

This is cute. You seem to have the ability to capture unique things out of everyday life. I love how her hands are covered in paint. it makes it even more unique.

I like the shot very much. Good compostion but unfortunately the frame ruins the shot for me. I would like to see it again without it.. .it tends to distract me from the image. Overall, a nice photo.

This work is good, yet, I think the cut of the frame is too narrow and the frame you chose for this photo is too heavy and irritating.

Cheers.

Comment from Casteel


This is a beautiful shot, I am happy to see this under expressive as that is exactly what it is. I am impressed with the turn out of this photo it has great character catching the simple task at hand. I although find that with her head and her elbow missing it takes away from the picture, as well the clarity does not seem to be very good. Another thing that maybe interesting with this for a expressive photo is removing everything but a portion of the arms and just capturing the hands. ( The frame seems to clash with this photo, maybe a different color or one that is a little thinner may work better)

Great picture, technically very pleasing especially with the quick shutter speed used that really has captured the essence of the water. Its also a great composition. I really dont like the grey frame though and would have probably cropped it closer into the hand washing action especially to get rid of the blurred background as it distracts the eye from the focus of the image.
