OK, final poll of the year: portraits. So far, voting in the Travel, Landscape + Nature, People in Places and Food categories is being swept by Italy pictures. Not this go around. Anyhow, if you haven’t voted in these categories yet, please do.
For this category, I have a request: please vote on composition, positioning, expression, etc…not based on who’s familiar. And please add feedback in the comments box. In more than any other category, portraits is the one where I’ll value feedback the most. This will help me deliver better and better results for my clients in the future.

You’re right, it’s tough to vote between apples and oranges. You have a knack for capturing the essence of kids. I like the Anya shot because of the angle (child relating to adult) and her ever so sincere little face. The Lilli shot is a close second. With her blonde hair and white vest the whiteboard works really well for the background. With JerJer the background is a little too stark.
Of the adult shots, my favorite is the Michaelanne. Love the way the horse’s ears catch the light, just like the top of Michaelanne’s eyes. I also like the casual way she’s holding the crop – posed but natural.
I have to admit that though I like the others, I always get a hitch in my throat when I see a grandfather holding a baby. Since I got the most emotional response to that one, I had to vote for it.
