I actually like the detail on the face, but the foreground & back ground are too distracting

This is a great image. I know it breaks a lot of rules, it could be this, it could do that, but I really liked it. It's raw and it's real and got a superior vote from me. Good job!

Great shot

This is a very strong image but the woman looks very distressed at what's happening to her. I hope she's o.k.

great face

Great capture, but the random blob in the bottom distracts my eye a lot.

I like the movement. Maybe crop a bit off the bottom to remove the black. Overall I like this quite a bit.

I don't like the composition (way too centered, I would have let more room in the direction she looks in) or the lighting (face too dark, details get lost. Furthermore, there is a fuzzy shadow bottom right that you could have easily cropped of. Not a very good picture in my view, sorry.

I keep returning to this one. Beautiful.

A beautifully strong & powerful portrait. Effective use of the light. 10!

I love the windy feel with the loose hair and motion. This one is nicely different and strongly emotive. 8.

Interesting, but we are left missing alot of the story behind this picture.

It's a shame: the bottem right should been masked out. If sharpness where more on her eyes than further back on the hair...it would been better.

The object in the forgeround is distracting. Would be a powerful image other wise.
