This looks like the lighting might be a bit of dodging and burning via Photoshop. Nevertheless, I love it. Great job! Good luck in the challenge!

A lovely portrait! I hope she has that one hanging on her wall! I like the angles in the lines. The non-centered composition. The use of dark negative space to force you into the subject. The shallow depth of field. Very nice! Good luck in the challenge! (finished voting, returning to say that this is one of my top picks!)

This is a beautiful image. I love the lighting in the bowl and of the girl and the lack of light above. Nice and sharp where it counts and soft where it needs to be. Good work! Good luck in the challenge!

A perfect postcard. I'd love to visit and see this place! Love the sharpness in the details. Lighting is great. I only wish the horse/buggy were a bit further to the right to give them room to walk towards the left. That .. and the horses face appears to "merge" with something in the background. Other than that, this is really nice!

I would have prefered that the bird be on the left 3rd. Give him room on the right to "fly into". The centered composition doesn't work here...

An awesome portrait! Perfectly lit, with emphasis on the face. Shallow DOF works well with perfect sharpness where it is needed. And how about those eyes???? Good luck in the challenge!
