Love it! My only nitpick is the front girl's right eye looks a little odd the way it is in the shadows. I'm looking for things though and really like a lot just the way it is.

We were in front of a good size picture window. Natural light is always so nice! I had a rod with sheer curtains that I put up to diffuse the light even more, and also to give a bit more privacy! (especially in the skimpier outfits!) It all looks nice and proper in the photos, but somethings were nipped and tucked a little more bare than others! LOL

Wow...I really like the effect you've given this one. It almost looks like it could have been taken in another century. I think you have a very artistic outlook on your photography and I love your stuff! Her expression and the gentle lean into the tree adds a lot of emotion that you bring out splendidly with the tones and the composition.

This is a great effect. Perfect choice to use it on this subject.

What a wild looking shot and perfect for this challenge. Lots of motion and leading lines. I like that you got the exposure just right to see the detail inside but not lose the blue sky outside.

I like the dreamy-eyed look to this one. I would suggest a bit more contrast (but I'm a contrast junky, so I say that alot!) I think I would also trim just a bit of the black off the left side. This pose is one of my two favorites of the series. (the other one being the one-eye pose)

This is also a nice pose, but it makes the lighting appear a bit harsh IMO. I think I would crop this just above the stone of the necklace. It gets rid of the dark shadow by her arm and I think brings the focus back to her face and to the eyes. I do like the expression. I would have liked a little more variety in her expressions throughout your posted portraits.

This is fun. It really draws you right to the eye...which I wish was a bit sharper. The b/w works well and I think the tones are good. I like the uniqueness of the pose, but I think it would be better sharper.

Great catch! Better, yes, if he was coming in from the left - but still a nice combination of elements here. I love the older looking bike, and I think it works out well that he's wearing natural colors to match the surroundings. The motion of the waves adds a lot too. It's often easy to blow out the details in the waves, but you nailed it. Good colors and exposure.
