Thanks for looking everyone. I appreciate it.

I prefer the first shot of your daughter out of the three. A very 'butter wouldnt melt in my mouth', sweet expression with great eye contact
You have 2 lovely images there and makes it a very tough one to choose from! They both have there merits! I do like the black and white one!
Hi Ben, sorry mate but its another vote for the 1st shot of your daughter
Hi Ben
great image for SIGH...the expression says it all...like the mono...nice work mister
Sweet....quite liking the Sepia image....suits the building
Your 2 portraits are lovely....2nd one for me , even with the flower slightly covering the smile....her expression seems more natural ....it's a belter of a shot
Another for #1 on the portraits Ben
Lovely sweet smile, great eye contact too. Something a bit different from the more obvious interpretations I like your thinking Iain
THe first of the two portraits for me - very nice!
Hi Ben
week 5 already !
Right on theme & like the mono... though just to be awkward I'm wondering if the brickwork had those nice deep red tones which could have contrasted well with the boarding? (there's always one & it's usually me )
ps..... I'm pressuming that the 3 fix's are some sort of wood ?...did it not occur to the owners that 3 times someone has smashed through the wooden doors.......maybe metal re-inforcement would be better
Shhhh Carol! I'm trying to win an argument here

Dark Knight said:Ooo the wider cropped Colour for me Ben, for me you can see the run down look more with the graffiti and denatured sterling-board - not that the mono is poor, Great shots
superpippo said:Hi Ben, doing a bit of catch up.
Lovely portraits for 'sweet'. For me #1 because of the pose of hands, flowers and face all of which are in focus whreas #2 has the flowers oof and to me they should be part of the portrait.
superpippo said:Not sure about secure. seems a bit wonky and i can't understand the shadow at the top of the pic. Don't know whether that is the exposure or if there is a canopy above. Also not sure that it is quite on theme as the buliding does not seem all that secure
I don't see which bits wonky ....
I like the wider shot in B&W the best. The black and white shows more detail in the brickwork!
It covers the theme well and shows that whoever boarded it up has a different idea on secure!!
When I posted for some reason I did not see the edit of the wider version.. On the narrow version the door step and vertical sides are not parallel with the frame on my monitor - however that is not the case with the wider version, which I think is the better pic and i think works better in colour
Sweet - Just to throw you I actually like the closed door shot
Secure - Another vote for the B&W conversion. You could even try an angled shot of this one to add another perspective.
The B + W in the wider crop is looking good, agree with others some selective colour would add to it. Area of colour I think would the locks and the centre wooden panel,
I'm way behind on both my own and looking at others so I'm playing catchup
Sigh - Liking it, subtle and good choice on the conversion to B&W
Sweet - Definitely the second one.
The first one I can see what you were doing but I don't think the composition or the post processing works on it.
The third one is too tight a crop to evoke sweetness to me but a great shot.
Definietly the second one as it's a nice shot and gets more of the "sweetness" in the frame, love the expression
Secure - Nicely framed and again the B&W works well with this. I wonder if you added a little more contrast if it would enhance the image anymore?
for the wider mono version. Not keen on the selective colouring version.
