Effective use of B&W...good portrait. Would like a tad less centered composition, but nice nonetheless. :o)

I like this, but I can't help but wonder if the bg was supposed to be white...I can't get white foam core to look white in my camera, so maybe that's it? I don't know. Good use of negative space. :o)

Cheesy and Crunchy - Orange on Blue

I love the complimentary color arrangement here...very vibrant. I also like the composition. Who knew a cheeto could be interesting? :o)

The lighting, focus, and color in this portrait are all fine, but I don't particularly care for the pose and the dead-on center composition. Her hands are in a bit of an awkward pose, and they are casting a shadow across her chin. You are on the right track, however. Good effort. :o) PS...had to add that I just figured out she is holding something...a book perhaps? It would look less awkward if it were more visible IMHO. :o)

Nice job on this one. I am a bit distracted by the dark area in the top left, but aside from that, beautifully done. Maybe a tad too much gaussian blur, but not enough to sway my opinion. :o)

Photographers portrait

I love this one...the background is fabulous and interesting without being a distraction, and the pose is great as well. I do wish the left knee weren't cut off, but aside from that, it's great. Model is very striking...kinda wish he was smiling a bit more, but that serious look is fitting as well. :o)

This is a near-perfect portrait, IMHO. Lighting is excellent, pose is great, focus, color, etc. is simply well done. A very distinguished looking gentleman, too! Great effort. :o)

Gorgeous photo...love the soft focus. I do find her gaze a bit distracting, as I wonder what she's looking at rather than the camera. Beautiful lighting. :o)
