    Re: Portrait

    Seems like an OK portrait. You did a good job blurring the background, though I can't tell if she is ever-so-slightly fading out in comparison to the child, who's totally in focus (who looks good). Also, it might need a dash more contrast. There seems to be some grain or related stuff on her white sweater's arm there - was that due to the film? I'm thinking that it could also be due to over post processing.

    Re: Portrait

    I like your portrait. The positioning of the subjects and both of their expressions works well. I think that there could be a bit more punch in the contrast but that's me.

    Nice job,

    I'd like to see a bit of crop off the sides and bottom. I love the facial expression of the person in front.

    Willem,

    As always, I really enjoy your photos. These are no exception. Great job. No critique from me. It's also good to see you around.

    I hope you're health is improving.
