Cute! This is one of those rare times that I like a long title. :D This is a great image and would probably do well for you as a stock photo. As a portrait shot...well, I'm not certain. Wonderful clarity and sharpness where it counts. Overall, nicely done. Good luck in the challenge.

I like the head scarf, but the image seems a little bit dark. I can see where you've adjusted the lighting to emphasize her eyes...just not quite enough overall IMO (and yes, my monitor is calibrated). :D Best of luck to you in the challenge.

I like this. Nice job of post-processing. Your focal point on his face is right on with a nice soft blurring elsewhere. Good luck in the challenge.

Well at least you got him to sit in front of a black backdrop. :D This is well put together. I like the expression on his face. Good luck in the challenge.

Wow. This is an "in your face" portrait. Makes me want to back up a little. :D Nice detail and I like the lighting. Good luck.

Cute, but man are you going to get blasted for an inanimate object as a portrait subject! :D Good luck.

I like the expression and posturing of 'Ben'. The photo is a little bit on the soft side, which takes away from it some. Personally, I think the lighting could be a little stronger yet. All JMO of course. :D Good luck in the challenge.

Portrait of Past and Present --> (Horses and Cars)

Hurting for models were you? :D I'm thinking you're probably going to get hammered on this one as most people think of portraits as a person shot, sometimes pets. Additionally, having to write a lengthy descriptive title is many times frowned upon with the believe that your photo should do most of the talking. All JMO of course. As for this image, it's composed ok and you have a good tonal range of B/W overall. The lens flare upper-left is distracting. Best of luck to you in the challenge.
