I absolutely love their expressions.

It's so neat to see siblings that love each other - and they obviously do! Awesome shot!

Hey George. To be honest, this one doesn't work for me. I love the expression and pose of the kids. But the edgy processing doesn't complement the sweet innocence. The empty left half makes the shot unbalanced--a square crop might work better. It's a wonderful capture, but I think a more traditional approach would work better.

Maybe I'm just pissy this morning :dunno. Hope you're doing well.

I feel ill suited to critique your work, but you know what they say about opinions....

it just looks like a charcoal based drawing thats wildly off center with what appears to be a floating head.

besides there adorably happy faces, this one doesnt do it for me.

Hey George,

Love the expressions, but don't love the treatment, sorry. Not sure why, maybe because it makes the flesh look not believable. But, my personal taste, well ... you know. Looking forward to bromoils though.
