A light box; just what I always wanted. Cool idea, nicely realized.

It's great to see a shot of kids being kids.

Wow, beautiful glowing light. Very expressive model. Nice, uncluttered background. Strong framing. It's a quibble, but the hand in the lower left corner I find slightly distracting. Overall this is a wonderful shot.

Beautiful model and expression. It's a novel choice of lighting. I'm afraid that I find the shadows it produces beneath the eyes to be just a bit too strong for my tastes.

The lighting is exquisite. The model is beautiful and has a very warm expression. Nice tilt of the head and smile. I'm a bit surprised that you did not use clone tool to take out the cracks in the lower lip. And being easily distracted, I find the rectangular buckly thing a tiny bit distracting. Still, this strikes me as being superb portraiture - I am in awe at the way the skin glows.

Beautifully lit, perfectly exposed. Nice expression. Lips, near eye perfectly sharp. Everything about the photo is perfect, except it doesn't call to me. I wonder whether the expression is a little understated? Or if it is just that at this angle it's a little more difficult to read? In any case, it is a beautiful shot.

Priceless expression. Nice framing. Sharp focus & nice DOF. Being relatively new to photography I am inclined to like photos that are just a little more contrasty. My impression is that the subject's face is just a little under lit - though I do appreciate the strong highlights and good shadows it shows.

The colors reach out and grab one. But I wonder whether those faces were quite that shade of magenta? Good shot.

I really like the strong bokeh of the background. And I like the fact that the background extends far to the right. I'm finding the blurry white and blue figure to be a little distracting. Somehow, cropping would ruin the way space works in this photo, and that's a big blur to clone out... Still, the subject is very strong, sharply focused and nicely lit.
