I like the candid look to this whether it was or not. Wish his features, especially his eyes, were lighter. I think that would give better balance to the image which, as it stands, almost seems more about the cigarette than the man. Maybe you could have titled it "Smoker"?

Smiling Eyes.

A real cutie, the colors are my favorite combination -- yellow or golden brown and blue, love it! -- and the eyes, though over-done for my taste, do jump out at the viewer.

Funny take on the theme. I like the idea of the square crop -- works well with the whimsy of the shot -- but in terms of composition, I think it would look better if you lost the top of the image -- down to where the sidewalk ends (or starts) at least. I do like the sharp silhouette and that nose tip :)

Lips

Beautiful model and you have found a great perspective for showcasing her lips -- the red lipstick doesn't hurt, either. I like the lighting and subtle framing.

Not a feature I would have thought to remark on or photograph but what a very beautiful, long neck she has -- not at all out of proportion but very stately. I love your cropping choices. Beautiful model. I would take a look at a horizontal flip -- hard to know. Just an idea and not suggesting this orientation is not just fine.

Her Blue Eyes

The high key, white on white look is very nice for showcasing her eyes -- which are very pretty, indeed. I like the lowered saturation -- very porcelain doll looking. The freckles are charming.

Brows

Well, he certainly knows how to work them -- and fine, thick brows they are at that. There's too much space over his head for me -- the framing and composition just aren't working.

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.

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.

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.
