The bright blue border immediately takes your eye off the photo, which defeats the entire purpose of the photo.

Photo is tilted to the right just a tad, but it really is detracting. Other than that, it is a good photo

had this been a grilled cheese sandwich with a bite taken out of it, I would give you a 15! :-) Great job. This should ribbon. 10

I think this would be much better with more lake/pond and less sky. Lovely colors.

Good job Dave, I thought this was your's when I looked through the entries. The harsh lighting on Dina's hand was the first thing I noticed. Great idea for the challenge though.

Ouch, no serviceable parts inside!

Overal a nice portrait, with good natural lighting. A couple nit picks, since you asked for critiques.

The highlights are just starting to blow out, especially on the neck. There are a few distracting reflections on the glasses (I've learned glasses are a pain). She is squinting a bit, particularly her left eye (our right), so you barely see the catchlight. You may have tried having her turn her head just a tad further to her left (our right), not much though.

Nice portrait though. I'm sure her parents will love it.
