The highlights are blown in each of these. In #1 and #2 it really doesn't bother me since it's background or just the sheets. However, in #3, you lose her shoulder in the background.

Also wish the pup in #1 was more in focus so he seems more like he's one of the family.

I agree with Audrey, the highlights are blown out and there is virtually no details in the whites.

#1
  • I would have cropped out the the lamps. With a mostly all white scene those lamps are distracting.
  • The little pup near mom has his/her bottom pointed towards the camera.

#2
  • The two birds really don't do it for me but that's just a matter of personal preference.
  • I like the idea of your pose but mom's hand engulfs the babies hand and hides most of her right arm.


#3
  • The only thing that bothers me is the dark spot in the background. i would fix this in post processing.



I like where you were going with this set. Good job.
