Were you hiding that camera in the department store? Looks like it. :D This is cute. I wish it had a little better quality on the technical side. It's a little soft and grainy. Very, very cute however. Did I already mention that? :) Good luck in the challenge.

Somebody knows what they're doing. :D THIS is a portrait. Wonderful detail. This has been well thought out from the makeup (including a powdered nose) to the balanced lighting. Congrats on a job well done.

This is funny. Looks like he still has some serious bed head going on. :D As for the technical qualities, this is a bit too soft and the lighting seems a little harsh. JMO of course. Good luck in the challenge.

This is cute and fun to look at. Not sure how it really fits as a true portrait. You've done a nice job getting a solid range of black to white in this. Good luck in the challenge.

Nice tonal range here. Focal point seems to be right on. I can't help but tilt my head to look at this. Not sure why, but it feels funny with her laying to the left - to the right would be more comfortable IMO. Good luck.

This is cute. Lighting seems a little harsh making the photo seem a little flat (lacking depth in contrast). JMO of course. :) Good luck in the challenge.

He has such a serious expression and I imagine those eyes are quite intense. If only we could see them better. :D Focus is sharp around the nose but falls off fast and the eyes are way too soft IMO. Good luck in the challenge.

This is a tough one. I like what you were approaching here with the framing of the subject, but it feels awkward. Like I'd rather see more of his other eye, or not even a hint. I'd imagine you struggled with this because to frame it tighter would then come into his nose and mouth more. Hmmm. Glad it was you that had to decide! :D Other than that it's technically well done overall - maybe a touch warm on the cheek exposure wise. Good detail and clarity. Overall, well done. Good luck in the challenge.

Wonderful character in this portrait. The painting helps I'm sure, but her eyes seem so serious, perhaps contemplative...beyond her years. Hard to explain I guess. Certainly an engaging photo. Nicely done. Good luck in the challenge.

I like the way her hair and the hat isolate her face in black. The tonal range I think is just a tad short on the high end (missing a true white). Hmmm. I just noticed the threads in the hat. Those are white. Perhaps the B/W points are correct, but her eyes and teeth seem like they could be a little brighter. Just a thought. Best of luck to you in the challenge.
