Interesting shot but not exactly a self-portrait. I like the colors and lighting though.

With your eyes so wide and your hand covering your mouth this way, you look almost like an poster for the latest "Halloween" film. LOL! I like it.

This is nice. I like the idea that you are turned away from the camera like this. The pink of your dress stands out nicely against the grass (of which I can see almost every distinct blade).

I'm told my monitor isn't the best in the world, but perhaps in this case, that's a good thing becuase I like how I am seeing very little more than black and white (in other words, few shades of grey). I do wish I could see what you're holding though.

Good lighting and capture of the character in your face. I'm impressed that you were able to elminate so much reflection from your glasses. That's the hardest part of taking a photo of anyone who wears them (I know. You rarely see my eyes in most pictures of myself! LOL!). I appreciate that you were able to reduce this problem while taking the picture yourself.

It seems a bit out of focus. In this case, I don't think the semi-silhouette concept works too well. I would have liked to see more of your eye.

In My Hands

When looking at the thumbnail on this shot, I wasn't going to give it a very high score because I didn't care for the lighting and it seems a bit out of focus. However, I do like the kind of funkiness you get from using the mirror. Kind of makes you wonder, what's real and what's a reflection?

Very romantic. It looks as if it could be from another century. I like the lighting and your choice of keeping it in the tan tones. Much more effective than had you gone black and white or kept it in color. I like the feeling of softness it evokes.

I very much like the contrast of colors. The lighting on the petals is very effective, bringing out nice detail. It is soft and beautiful.

This would have made a great entry for the magazine cover! Great action shot. I probably would have cropped out the person's head at the bottom or included more of them. Having just the top of their head looks a little off, but otherwise, I like it.
