Lighting up the Room with my Smile

A very cute lopsided smile and expression for sure. Gotta love that raised eyebrow. I would have liked this one better if he had been making eye contact with the viewer, I think.

Always Good To Other People

I like the lighting and desaturated tones a lot, the expression is interesting. It does not, however, speak to the title, IMO. Character is very difficult to portray in an image.

Ocean Eyes

Comment:
I like the close crop and the direct gaze. The lighting is a bit harsh -- I find the shadow below her nose especially dark. I am not a fan of this kind of selective coloring which I know is very popular with many.

"working" legs

I like the simplicity, the cleverness of one shoe on, one kicked off, the use of the shadows to repeat the lines and shapes, the fishnet stockings -- well planned and executed.

I have to work way too hard to see the smile here.

My Redhead

Comment:
A very pretty young lady with beautiful hair and, I might add, eyes. Very nice lighting and just the right touch of editing -- she still looks natural which I like a lot.

His 'Stuck up' hair

Comment:
What a fun looking young man! The lighting is working for me on his hair, face and hands, not so much on his shoulders. Good focus on the eyes and hair, too.

Blue Hair

Comment:
Terrific lighting and color -- right down to the blue eyebrows. Funky and dramatic and I would say blue hair is definitely a defining feature.

Broad back and thick hair
by Krisby

Comment:
Beautiful thick hair, I might add, and a very pretty profile. I might not have included "broad back" in my title LOL The image is softer than I would like to see it -- especially the hair should be very well defined, I think. The grain helps but does not completely compensate for the blown out areas. And I find the location of the corner in the background distracting. It like this anyway.

Known for his Hat
by hahn23

Comment:
Excellent detail in both the hat and the face. The hat stars as IMO is appropriate for this challenge, but the face is strong enough to balance it nicely.
