A great take on this challenge. Turning the regular portrait into a colorful character study. All aspects that make a good image are present and very well executed. Certainly an unforgettable image. bumping up.

A great pose and lovely expression. While the processing here extends it to the border of a graphical representation, the effect works very well sonce the vital feautures are preserved. I would have cropped it just a little higher. Regardless, this image works well. Bumping up.

A good character study with great lighting to bring out the robust and attractive feautures. The diagonal angle works great to add tension. The tone is serious and the gaze almost hypnotic. A very good effort which meets the challenge above and beyond. Bumping up.

A truly lovely portrait with very good lighting. The facial expression radiates confidence and kindness. The hair is great as it wraps around the neck and into the front atop the lovely shade of the body wrap. Hand position is good, except that inclussion of the pinky would have helped even more. Good focus. Bumping up.

A great concept and general feel. My first impulse was to criticise the focus, but no, the softness is what give this image its mystique. My only minor sense is the strong light on the hand holding the Canon, however, your facial expression removes the eyes at once from that detraction. This image rises to a good character study. very well done. Bumping up.
