Thank you so much. I am pretty happy with it myself. No idea how 'people' are gonna react. Meaning, if anyone would ever order at shoot like this for their kids.

I love this shot, and she has that angel look to her, but I have a crazy art idea I want to suggest. This same set up with a tear running down her cheek would be really powerful - at least it is in my mind. Something to maybe try. Beautiful work.

Outstanding portrait on the first shot posted! You nailed it. It is beautiful! This second one, I don't like the dark eyes personally but it isn't a bad photo.

Don't like the first one at all.

My immediate reaction, as soon as the picture appeared before my eyes, was that I was looking at a child who someone had recently abused. Very disturbing. Gave me a sick feeling in my gut.

I like the second picture even less.

Didn't get this at all, but we all bring our own experiences and emotions with us when we view art (please do not take this to imply that I am saying you have personal experience with abuse), and good art always evokes a reaction.

I love the first one, and if she had an evil grin on her face in the second one it would be awesome I think! Angel vs demon sorta thing! Way to go my friend! You always seem to amaze me with your creativity! Big thumbs up! :D

Very nice portrait Wud! Lovin that soft dreamy look. Only thing that kinda catches my eye is the makeup over her left eye. Almost looks a little too defined in the otherwise soft image. (Makes it look sorta like a mask and draws my attention away from the left eye. I focus more on the wishbone pattern around that eye.)

Now for the second shot. I like it...but maybe black the eyes completely out and put a catch light or ring light reflection in them. Almost give them a obsidian look maybe?
