Nicely composed. Love the bright colors and the joyful expression. Highlights on the face are just a tad bright, but well done nonetheless. :o)

My First Portrait Attempt! (My Son Karson)
by ConcreteDonkey

Comment:
Not bad for a first attempt! :o) Lighting is effective and focus/detail are good. Would like a bit more sharpness in the eyes. Floor is a tad distracting due to the bunching up around his feet and the base of the drum. Good effort. :o)

The Softer Side of Me...

Very nice...but just a tad dark on my monitor... Like the use of negative space. It's very effective in this instance. Well done. :o)

Nice lighting and focus. Would have preferred more of a crop on the right side to give her more left sided negative space to stare off into. Well done. :o)

Her eyes
by Miinerva

Comment:
Nicely done. Like the high-key effect. Eyes are expressive, but the reflections in the right eye are distracting, as is the ring on her ring finger...it's turned a bit. Well done. :o)

Does Dave know you borrowed his shirt? LOL
Good portrait; lighting is effective but a bit warm for my taste. The shirt is also a bit "busy," along with the undershirt peeking out...it seems to have a bit of print on it and together that gives the eye too much to take in, IMHO. I would have preferred either no undershirt or the hawaiian shirt opened with a more complimentary undershirt. But that's just me. Good effort, regardless. :o)

Me and Myself

Beautiful...maybe a bit more light or some dodging around her shirt/face in the mirror? Wonderful job. :o)

I would really like this one except for one thing...the reflections in the glasses seem to show clothing and miscellaneous equipment rather than something more visually appealing. Focus and detail are excellent, and I love the background. The reflections may be just a nitpick, but I would really like to see something more interesting or attention grabbing than laundry. Excellent attempt. :o)
