Nice even lighting outside of a studio environment. Quite natural looking. Great expression. I've heard Harper's Bazaar and W magazine have some worked related material in them as well (not that I looked).

Day 2 In Studio

Most excellent lighting. Perfect composition. As always eyes and smile just draw the viewer in. The shade of lipstick you chose really works well with all the neutral colors going on in this shot. Another fine job.

Fun post p on this one.

A 30 day SP challenge really is great therapy. I was not comfortable looking at pics of myself until I did one of these. This is the third one now. This here is a good crowd to do one with, a bunch of supportive peeps. My first 30 Day SP about half way through I realized hey this isn't so bad and the rest was history. To play outside my comfort zone I over act, ham it up, just have a whole bunch of fun. You'll find that you will take a bunch of shots in a setting and instead of saying EW, you'll wish that you could put more than one up for every one to see.

Really, sticking with that first SP side challenge helped me in quite a few ways, some being beyond being behind the camera only.

Have fun, ham it up. The cool thing about SPs is nothing says we have to be ourselves, we become actors/actresses.

I like it. Expression is very demanding, drawing the viewer up away from the color ink on your back (more nice tats). Nice crop/composition. Lovely shot. The bright spot only emphasises your facial features...great job.

Again expression and eyes really make the shot work. Great job on the post p. It is a fun and effective shot.

Just me but I'm struggling with the crop a tiny bit; You are looking back into the frame so the left of center placement looks/feels good but I might have gone even further left almost centering the earring and having all that negative space to the right to push the viewer across the frame.

Nice sharpness and clarity. Creative use of less than photogenic task. As others have mentioned the lighting, I'm actually nearly ok with it. I might have gone with a tighter crop (off the top) but that is just a personal thing.
