Great use of light. The light for the image of Lori is just bloody stellar. I wish I could keep a batch of the kind of light in my camera bag to have with my whenever I went. It's just luminous. Gorgeous. Like you noted the color compliments allow you to build on that strength. The triangle implied by her hand and arms really serves the image well as it guides our eye to her face. You make good use of the limited depth of field and the tack sharp focus on the eyes. Kudos on this one.
The light in the first shot is good. You make excellent use of the tree shade to contend with the quality of the afternoon light. It's an excellent move.
The warm directional light that you use for the photograph of your husband shows a diffused and directional quality of the light really serves him well. The color contrast between the shirt and the door really work well together creating a color contrast that help frame his face and expression..

Photography competition success
From the panel:
Personally, I love everything about this shot (the rest of the panel did, too). Composition is wonderful, and the action is clear. We liked how the child is through more than half of the photo, so you see not only where he is running to, but also where he's been. Lighting is perfect—if you look at the sha
dows, you can tell the shot was taken in late afternoon, which is a perfect time for flattering lighting on people.
From the panel:
This is a classic shot and an excellent example of using the rule of thirds and a diagonal (very powerful for composition). Great job! This photo didn't make the final list not because there is anything wrong with the photo, but the others were just a bit more interesting.
Category 3 - Perspective
Entry: Charlotte Bellamy
We are so glad that you have found a way to capture the type of photo you've always wanted! This is a beautiful shot, illustrating the soft, gentle eye of a horse. Depth of field is perfect, too.
