I love her... she played the part so well... and you caught her at it with so much finesse! The light... those bars... Amazingly done, girl! It's a museum display. She is made of wax.

Oh boy, what a disappointment! That's the downside of looking on the ipad.

Sunset Portrait

Great feel. Wonderful sitter. Not necessarily a portrait but because of the position it can be like one.

It looks to be a bit too smooth (the processing) - but the dof compensates for the total absence of noise

I love playing Piano

One can tell that she likes the piano and a lot of other things because one imagines that she has a sweet disposition
I would have cropped a lot from the left
Anyway, deserves a bump

Marvelous.
It seems to me that I saw the girl before; such a lovely, lovely gentle soul.
You gave justice to it

Funny but is it a portrait? In any case, imo it needs cropping and less sharpening - I like the snow/rain effect and the smile - voted before
"portrait: a painting, drawing, photograph, or engraving of a person, especially one depicting only the face or head and shoulders."

I never look at an image first to see if it met the challenge but this is just far from a being portrait, at least by any dictionary definition:

"portrait: a painting, drawing, photograph, or engraving of a person, especially one depicting only the face or head and shoulders"

You definitely have an investment in the sitter - charming face by the way - but there are a few details that to me do not look right independently of the challenge (her left hand so bright and looking so big with the painted nails, the black engulfing part of her body...)
I gave it 4 and feel that I have to explain myself

The processing is very unappealing - your entry was very good
