The photo is quite noisy and not very sharp. It is possibly cropped in too much. The model sure is happy!

This definitely needs a crop to get rid of all the space above the head. Good choice using a shallow DoF to blur the busy background. Try to find a simpler background to let the subject stand out more. He does seem to be darker than the background. Possibly using a reflector could help him to be lit better.

I think you did well with this. I like the rim light to separate the background. I think the model is posed well for a headshot. There are a couple of things to critique about this too though. I do think the main light is just a touch too direct. Judging from the shadow on the eyeglass frames, I think a diffuser is needed. Yet you did manage to eliminate any glare which is great. Also the choice of black background kind of conflicts with the bright and cheery model.

Love the pattern and line of the lights. I had no idea your topic was going to be so literal!! Look forward to seeing your continued creativity!

Golden light and great range in color, texture, and tone from sand to sky. Wonderful dreamy blur with a perfect sweet spot!!

Your flower is lit well enough. I like the pop of color. The light trails are not real uniform in their brightness and they seem a little chaotic with no real pattern or rhythm. I do really like it.

Good light on the tree. I wish there was some more light on the front of the presents. I'd like to see this use the full 800 pixels though. It appears quite small on my screen.
