Sorry but the rough post processing method you used is a little bit over the top for me, I like the style but just too much, I think I would have liked this method if you had stopped halfway there if you catch my drift.

Love those catchlights, almost done with the voting and been waiting to se a ring catchlight, love those. Not really loving the post processing as it comes to skintones though, too white/purple somehow for my taste, also composed a little bit too tightly or not tight enough somehow, what I mean is either compose tighter and lose the fingers and just concentrate on her eyes and that area or a slightly wider composition that has all of the left hand in the shot and most of the right one too and show more of her hair, this is somewhere in between and it just doesn´t seem to fit somehow, well to my taste anyway :)

Like this photo, gave it a 7.

Colour in Shadow

Nice job, I really like the lighting in this one and her expression, feel like it tells me a bit about the girl in the photo. Only to nitpick though, I don´t like the way her glasses, in specific the top rim is cutting through her eye like that, I would have adjusted them so either they are either lower on her nose so that her eyes are above the rim or the total opposite. Got a 7 from me.

Blue Eyes

Sorry to bring this up but I feel I owe you to be honest, the skin looks very overprocessed, she looks like a plastic doll and not a real person and what a shame, she looks very attractive and a couple of blemishes only give her character wich is what I feel is missing in this picture. Nice lighting.

Haha, I have a feeling I know who took this photo, if I am correct this is a self portrait. I like the lighting in this one, pretty well done and I´m sure it´s doing well :)

Mother, Mentor... My Heart

Works very well to have people as backround, something I learned from the Triptych challenge. This shot works, not terribly fond of the strong lighting from below but it´s not bad either, just think I would have preferred it if the topside lightsource and the bottom lightsource had their power reversed to give off a stronger shadow from her chin. Anyway, like it, gave it a 7.

First thing that popped into my mind when I opened this was that it needs better focus on the eyes, other than that a pretty decent photo.

Distant Uncertainties

I have a feeling this is Kita´s shot, am I right? Pretty good, I like the composition but on the downside this would be better with some sort of catchlight in the eyes, doesn´t have to be a big one though, just would bring some life to her eyes. 6 from me.

This is a perfect example why a wide lens is normally not used in portrait photography, it makes the things closest to the camera seem much bigger than the rest and isn´t flattering to most subjects. Try backing off next time and using a longer lens and I´ll bet you´ll like the results much better...
