Beautiful child. I would have preferred to see this in portrait mode rather than in landscape, to get the full length of the face. As it is, her chin and forehead are chopped off, which is a bit disconcerting IMHO. Excellent focus and detail. :o)

The back of her jacket seems to be bunched up around her neck. This, along with the wrinkles in the blouse, serve as distractions to an otherwise good portrait. I like the lighting on her face. :o)

My Love...

Beautiful model, lighiting, and focus. I am a bit confused, however, as the title is "My Love" yet she looks more angry than in love. I would crop the left side a bit, giving her more negative space on the right, as that is the direction she is looking. :o)

Good lighting and expression on the model's face. I would have preferred to see it without the lamp and pillow/furniture in the background. Good effort. :o)

Worried...

Great focus and detail. Filling the frame is important in portraits, and you've certainly done that. The worried expression creates an emotive response in the viewer. :o)

Wonderful pose. The lighting is a bit harsh and one-sided, however, leaving the face shadowed to the point that many details in his expression are lost. The light right under the brim of his hat kind of blows out the forehead a bit as well. This could be a very good portrait with a few minor lighting adjustments. :o)

This has a sort of VIctorian appeal to it. I like the choice of costume and hat. The portrait is too dark on her right side, IMHO. I would rather see a bit more detail all over than just on one side. The light seems to blow out on the pearls a bit. This does have potential, perhaps with minor lighting adjustments. :o)
