This is a lovely portrait - like the style, the black background, the highlighted hair (great colour), the skin tones. I would love to see some more shots from the shoot - perhaps some less symmetrical and perhaps more relaxed? My subject had and has very limited patience and getting her to relax was not one of my strong points!

A very clever reprise; all the great artists "borrowed" occasionally. Nicely lit, lovely clear focus and a well controlled background. I like the slightly noisy skin texture and assume that it was deliberate. The edge to the dress on the left is a little hard, maybe PS'd or maybe that was how it photographed but it is a great shot.

I have seen that pose before, boys too! Nice soft and gentle light, good detail in the shadow, love the highlights in the hair, gentle focus too - very nice!

I play too but not often enough! Nice idea but perhaps the subject should be further away from the background to drop it out of focus and Imaybe I would crop to the waist and not crop the trumpet, giving a landscape portrait of a trumpet player - great!

Nice idea and it works well in sepia but the light is perhaps a little too harsh, creating deep contrast between shirt and face, although you have captured the detail in the face.

An interesting fragment - one wants to see more! One is drawn to the eye but I would have liked a pose that faced the camera by a just few degrees more.

Stunning! The colour of the headdress compliments the skin tones, the lighting is just right and the neutral background is perfect. The focus on the eyes is very compelling. This is a superb portrait.

Soft gentle tones for a soft gentle portrait, nice diagonal pose. The background, especially behind his right ear, detracts a little but who cares?

An unusually tight crop proves very effective. Love the diagonal composition and the gentle colour tones offsetting the bright bue eyes.
