nice composition. Might have maybe preferred the flowers to be a tad whiter, but do like it nonetheless.

Definitely very nice. The eyes stand out well, her left eye being skillfully party-hidden-but-not-really-by-the-hair. The hair, at time dark and at time light work really well too. The pose could seem a bit static, fully frontal like that, but I find it consistent with the darkish tone of the picture and her neutral face. Gives it kind of an unnatural feel.

What I like a bit less are: (i) the background, a bit too "dull" and (ii) the lighting/composition on the breast&arms.

Really like it. Composition, tight crop are great. The look is very strong. The post-processing is really nice. The hair are great. Her left eye is well hidden/notreallyhidden (don't know how to say it).
Very powerfull portrait.

Good shot although I feel like you've added some noise artifically and to my taste this is detrimental to the picture. It somehowe doesn't look real. If I'm not wrong, you have applied it using a filter so that it does not affect the dark background which is a good idea, but it seems to show near his right hear, and still applies to other dark areas on the face.

I am a little disturbed by the strong flash. Could have been a great shot using just available light (or ever so slightly some fill flash). But here the flash is flattening the face and creating strong, unwanted reflections.

nice portrait, good lighting and character. The hand is adding a nice touch of originality. The pattern of the shirt is a bit distracting though. I would prefer the picture with a more neutral color and a closer crop. Good job still.
