Great Shot. I'm sure you will cherish it later. They grow up too quick.
I like the lines the wood makes drawing you to the subject .
My only critique is that the subject is too centered.
I did a quick crop.

It's definately a Photoshop Xmas.
Nice Christmas card feel.
All I would do is add 'catch lights' to the eyes.

You should know all the rules so you can tell which ones your breaking.
Cool shot ... sort of M.C. Escher like.
Why not crop to a square? Your centered anyway.
A little lower angle might have been interesting too.
Nice self portrait.

Nice tie.
With a cable release and a tripod I'm sure you took steady pictures.
Well composed. I like the left hand pointing.

Great lines in this shot.
The light is good, throwing long shadows and giving detail to the beach.
I would crop the top just a hair. Get rid of that black line.
Then your eye is more drawn to the fishermen.

Funny how sunsets and nude women get all the hits on this site.
This image looks like it took time, thought and effort.
It's creative and nicely done.
I wish you put more info on what techniques were used.
The catch lites in the eyes make it work.

Composition is good.
The stems on the left back apple and yellow apple could be better placed.
You could get tighter on the image. Not as tight as Fruit #1 but you don't need all that top and you could crop just a little of the reflection.
The lighting is good. Maybe a little too open, could be slightly more dramatic.
Lastly, some kind of light on the background.
It would add depth and life to the image.
I hope you don't mind this candid critique.
You have the essence of a very good shot that just needs a little refininjg.
Keep shooting you are on the right track.

I love your city scapes and photoshop technique.
Outstanding images.
I love your attention to detail. The people in the photo are always well placed, no tangents.
This shot is a perfect example. The people add so much character and scale.

Beautiful picture. The composition is wonderful. I love the way everything flows to the right, (mountains, reflection...) and how the boat cuts your eye back through it so you wind up at the house.
My only minor changes would be electronic. I would clone out the bare branches coming in from the top of the frame and there is a small dark spot on the river above the boat. Minor blemishes. Great shot.

Unusual view.
I like the idea but I think this image could be cropped a little tighter and the corners could be darker.
Here's a quick edit. I hope you don't mind.

I love the light andd colors, Great composition.
I like the dark triangles on each bottom corner split by the dark diagonal line.
Good use of shadows as a compositional element.

I like the light, nice texture on everything. The rusty colored background is great.
I think the composition is a little too centered, top to bottom, left to right.
The tombstone is kind of a bullseye, a little static. I might try getting in closer, using the rule of thirds. Show less of the background, cool as it is.
Maybe even bring a prop. Fresh flowers to contrast the age.
Just some ideas.

When I shoot copywork I put a softbox on either side far enough away that no reflections show.
The key is to meter. Make sure the light is even, side to side and top to bottom.

I think what you need is some object in the middle.
Your eye is drawn to the center but it's empty.
I almost think the object should be round or quartered like the shot.
It might be cool if it was in color or a color to contrast the B&W.

The light doesn't bother me.
It turns the photo into a 'set up shot' disspelling any sense that it wasn't posed.
If the light is there to show smoke you would be better served with a spot of raw light aimed right above the hand from behind.
Also I'd like to see some kind of background treatment.
Even subtle light on a background would give more depth.
I just find solid black backgrounds so dull.

Great angle, nice light. I like the fingers and the band-aid.
My only suggestion is color balance. The shot seems a little green/yellow to me.
Adding a little magenta and blue might look nice.
Welcome to usefilm. I look forward to more pics of your niece. My girl is about the same age.
A very photographic age.

Chris,
I apologize for such a rude welcome to usefilm.
I like the sun dappling through the trees, how the photo gets lighter twards the back. It really adds depth to the image.
I would crop some off the right. I feel that would make for a stronger composition.

Excellent shot. I like the contrast of blue sky and yellow stone. lighting is good to show detail and the shadow is a nice compositional element. I would crop the bottom a little, so you don't see that bar. And I would clone out the tree branches on the left.
