7 is such a lovely shot. My only quibble is the saturated warm area on the lower left is distracting me a bit from the rest of the image. My eye is drawn to it because of the warmth but not much is happening down there, you know? At any rate this is still a great image just as it is. I'd love to see it printed.
10 is a really cool shot that could only be improved with a little-girl-with-long-curls-and-teddy-bear shadow right next to your shadow. Then you would have not only a great picture but an heirloom.
Thanks Jeff for your insights. Yes, I saw that spot too on #7.>>>

I went back and forth with it and decided (at least for now) to keep it in as I felt it was what the light was naturally doing at the time. I may change it though.
