I like the framing and the model's attitude is perfectly captured, but her ear is in better focus than her eyes, and that steals some of the thunder from this quite nice shot.

Full on flash is tough to pull off, it robs the face of flattering shadows and exposes flaws in the skin. it also looks as if you are slightly back focused as the hair is sharper than the leading edge of the hands and mouth. im sorry if this comes off a harsh, just trying to point out room for improvment.

his face is a touch soft, but given how he has been racing lately this is a great miage on a purely photographic ( except afore-mentioned quibble ) and as a metaphore of his career.

very sweet shot with lovely tones, but the tree growing out of mom's ear is rather distracting.

Disquieting and hillarious. i wish the hand wasn't cut off so abruptly, but it is a unique addition to the group. the framing is just right.

great lighting and framing! A fine portrait of a slice of a boy's development into manhood. the slightly self-satisfied look on his face is just right.

A bit heavy handed with the softening, but the framing and backlighting work well

the eyes seem just a bit soft, this might knock it out of the top spot, but this ought to do very well, I like the way the slight tilt to her head is ballanced by the slightly greater space you left on the left side. Deftly handled.

great model, i am sorry that the top of his cap and left elbow are cut off, makes the composition seem un intended. In a more spacious framing the modle's tilted seat would have added to the style, with the framing so tight, it hurts. Anyway, I like the shot and the slightly washed out colors you used, I hope it does well since there is a ton of personalty here, and i like the old world feel.

I find the jutting angle of the model's neck to be rather disconserting, and the eyes are a touch soft, but i love the tones and the way she blends into the backround
