The evil ....

I'm seeing more looney than evil - not to diisparage your model... An interesting idea. I see what I think is post-process halo around the head (I've done this, and quite badly). I'm not sure if I like it or not. I do think the textured background is a little distracting. Still an nicely done portrait.
Perhaps instead of the prince of darkness, yo've captured the prince of insufficient light... (Sorry, an old Dilbert joke I've always wanted to use....)

Lying down, under a glass with a puddle on top? Clever - and even more clever if I'm wrong. I have gone away and come back without voting on this one repeatedly. Partly, I needed to see/understand how it was shot, and also I'm still debating the idea of calling this a portrait. But this is DPC and if I want to call myself an artist, I think I need to leave the box from time to time - as you have done here.
Nice job.

Assuming the graininess is intentional. Like the colors. Nice portrait.

Good use of light to dark, but perhaps a little too dark on the left - or maybe it's just my monitor. Nice portrait.

The Sparkle Of Innocence

Great angle and pose. I'd like to see a little beter balance of the lighting since the rest of the shot is so symetrical.

Great background and framing. I'd like to see a little better lighting on his face, but this is still a very good shot.

Background is distracting, but the photo is still verygood. Nice lighting and balance on the face.

Pretty, natural pose. I don't know what your equipment limitations are (I know I have them) but a soft flash on the face to bring out a little more feature without overpowering the sunlight on top would be nice. I like the sun highlight on her hair and shoulder.

Really more of a candid than a protrait (IMO) but a good capture with a good title. Nice job.
