Bed of flowers

Hmmm, I wouldn't consider an azalea bush to be all that comfortable :)

Lovely lighting and nice colors. Her hair over her throat and in shadow kind of creates the illusion of a disembodied head, and her positioning does make this feel very unnatural to me- as if she's sitting next to the bush and leaning way back into it. The arm position also feels awkward to me. I might have tried several different positions to see if one yielded a more pleasing and enjoyable looking result.

Looks perhaps like a shot taken during a play or performance of some sort. I think the harsh lighting works given the subject matter and mood. The red and black dress makes this eye popping.

The colors and pose make it look like something out of a cyberpunk movie. I'd be interested to see the results with the light source positioned in different places, the effects might be even more dramatic. Ineresting shot for sure.

Great composition and I love the mood created by all the redness. I wish we could see more detail, particularly in his face, but I know that's difficult to accomplish when shooting directly into the light.

Cool. I like the understated tones and the "Poltergeist-y" look on her face. The hands look enormous, but that's likely an effect created by the silhouetting and by the distance to the camera. Nice work.

Soothing

While a pleasant scene, the model doesn't exactly look relaxed! It appears there's some tension in the face, perhaps from holding a pose? Nice setup.

To the darkness and back

I like the idea very much - I wish the white space was whiter and there was a bit less black space. The straight black line under the subject's left eye is a little odd, but I erally like the hint of nostril visible on that side. Nicely done, would be excellent in my opinion with a little fine tuning.

Wow! Those colors are astounding! I love this. The *only* thing I can suggest is I would have preferred if the entire cricket was in focus! 9

Tipsy Colours

Great colors, but the super bright backlighting, noisy shadows and softness of the image make if feel a bit amateurish. These same four subjects could make a very sharp looking studio shot.
