I like this dramatic lighting. I think there is too much darkness at the top, possibly needed some cropping. Love the way you caught the light in your subjects eye. Well done.

Gosh I wish people would do subtitles, it would go a long way toward helping someone understand a photo, but in this case the photo is speaking for itself. It's very well done, straight on shot works very well in this case, some good catchlight in the one eye that looks like he is able to focus. DOF is right on. Nose ring would be distracting if i didn't know what it was. Great exposure. Overall 10. Even without knowing what the title says.

Good capture. Lighting was done well, but must have been difficult to get exposure right. The tilt bothers me some but basically done well.

Very appealing photo., possibly because it is so thoughtful or the guy is goodlooking. I think I would have liked it better without the curtains, they aren't adding anything of value and neither is the light on the left. Appears slightly underexposed on my monitor.

Good composition, but for this challenge, I think the work of art is overpowering the "portrait" subject. Lighting and exposure are great.

The shadow over her eyes is taking some of the appeal away, catch lights in the eyes would give it a spark. Beautiful girl, great expression.

Very sweet capture. This would be excellent except it has a sort of lack luster appearance almost like it's out of focus.

Cute concept. Focus and color are very good.Texture of background is odd.

Seems to be tilted back, but I think it adds interest to it. Nice textures.
