So much post production. While brilliant in composition...this over saturated nonsense needs to stop.
I appreciate the talent and art involved, but for me, the child portraits I really love are more candid and natural, not so posed and contrived. The beauty of kids is that they are these wild and strange little people, who are fascinating and unpredictable in their newness.
You're totally missing the point of the art here. I don't disagree with you but these are incredible. I still see the nature of the children in there. Your point of view is also very north American and western European. Having traveled in many parts these reflect so much of what children are and how it isn't their choice as well.

Too much photoshop. The poses are mostly unnatural and take away all the charme children should convey. These look like fashion ads, not portraits of children.
Are they photoshopped? I got the impression they were studio portraits.

These are very beautiful, but I fear that like many photos of children, these will be in the wrong hands and used in a heavily sexualized manner by deviants. That is why most online groups caution against photos of children or entirely ban them.
Based on the results of this competition, 88% of all kids in the world are White European. It also seems that there are no East Asian kids in the world, nor are there non-White Hispanics. No, this is not racist at all, right?
