I like the overall appeal of this shot. I think it's juts a touch too sof though. The halo of light is almost too much and creates an overblown sense behind her. I wish she were wearing a solid top - maybe deep blue or even black or dark red. The skin color is pretty. I'd like the light to be on her face - it would illuminate her face a bit more. As it is, the skin tones are a touch flat. Her gaze and expression is very pleasant.

Really interesting and not the expected portrait position. I like his freckled complexion. The eyes are deep and intense. I wish somehow you could have them so that the wires aren't covering them up - maybe moving slightly to the left or right? It has seriousness which I really like.

Very pretty. I feel that it's a tad too soft for my taste. The skin and hair appears slightly flat. I think some light on her face might help it a touch. Her coloration is lovely and the hair against the skin is quite appealing. Here eyes are gorgeous.

I like the coy expression. Her cocked head adds a cuteness. Her smile is adorable. I like her hair having the windblowh sense to it. I also like that you used a landscape layout. The black background is a nice backdrop to her face and the white tee shirt. Nice skin tones as well. Crystal clear eyes. Not too much post processing is evident. Upon 2nd review, I'm upping my score. Congrats on a nice capture!

I like the mysterious sense of this shot. Her eyes are stunning and not overly post edited. I think the white light to the right is a tad blown out (for my taste at least). I wish the scarf were a solid color. The touch of pinkish red and yellow detract just a bit. Her complexion is very pretty.

I like this alot. Her placement in the shot is well done. The complimentary colors of her ballet gown against the similar colors of the textured walls adds to the softness of her. I wish I could see her face closer and study the details. The skin seems just a smidge overprocessed although the coloration is nice. I know software such as Neat Image can almost plasticize skin sometimes. The leaves on the ground add a very nice natural sense to it all. Overall - REALLY GOOD.

This struck me from the moment I saw it. The fur lined hood is a wonderful frame to the face. I wish the overall size of the subject were larger so I could really study the details of the face. Lovely eyes and beautiful creamy complexion. I like the expression of gazing out and possibly daydreaming. Nice indeed.

I like this very much. It is striking and not the "typical" portrait. The lighting is wonderful and helps add to the drama of his countenance. I love the beard and craggy face. Your use of negative space helps showcase his features. I wish it were a bit tighter zoom, as I'd like to really study all of the textures of his skin. Well done.

Baby's first Portrait

Of all the baby shots, this is the only one that is a true portrait in my eyes. I just love that adorable face. The skintones are very natural, the lighting is nice and it isn't over processed. If possible, I'd have removed the blanket on the left side, but understandably, that might not be possible. Very sweet indeed. Congratulations to the parents!!!

I like the real sense that this has without overprocessing and "perfect" smooth skin. She has an intensityh that I appreciate. I like the off center placement in the shot as well. I wish she were wearing a different color other than pink, but that's just my personal taste. Blue would have worked nicely with the yellowish cast to her skin. Nicely done.
