The Drunken Master

I am sorry to say that I think this photo went wrong. The harsh reflections of your flash put highlights in the wrong places, forcing you to leave other areas too dark, and renderning the picture 2-dimensional.

I do not know why you took this picture and I figure the lady in it is asking herself the same thing. The bw-conversion is way too gray and the camera position really does not do the lady right, nor does the look on her face. I think you pictured this lady in an unflattering way, and that makes this not a good portrait in my view.

A last minute portrait

I'm sorry to say that I found many flaws in this picture. First of all, I think horizons are generally meant to be horizontal. Second, I don't like the composition, with the very narrow crop on the right, and the plane sniffing the gir's armpit. Furthermore, the picture makes me think of a funny-mood-holiday snapshots. Funny moods are okay, holiday snapshots are okay as well, but leave them in your family album.

Most important however, the backlight makes the girl face hard to see, which I think is essential in a portrait

Technically, this is not a very good picture, and you are probably aware of it. Chances are you are not going to win a ribbon. Still, I like the atmosphere in the picture. (8)

Cool. Love the expression and the use of DOF. Not too impressed with the composition and division though (7)

Such a pretty girl, but her eyes are so empty in this picture. I like the lghting and the composition, but the empty stare ruins everything.

Nice composition, great expression. Backlight is slightly over the top, but not disturbing. (8)

I like the lighting, as well as the concentration of the lady. Too bad there's some distracting uhmmmm 'thing' in the lower left corner: 7

Dare to be different! You got my attention. But I am afraid it's just different, nothing more (to me at least). And just different is not enough, if you get my point.

I Like the pose and the composition. The left side of her face could have used a little more light though. (7)
