This is fun. I like the emotion and you've captured some of this guy's character. Little motion adds to the realism of this portrait. Auctioneer? Well done. Good luck in the challenge.

Swan Signet

Ok. People portraits obviously ok. Pet portraits, mostly fine. Portrait of a swan? Hmmmm...little bit of a stretch IMO. What you have put together in this photo is nice. The swan is very well represented in color and focus. The background water pattern is quite different. Seems unnatural, although I'm sure it is. Anyway, best of luck to you in the challenge.

Luminescence

Nice composition. The fan adds a nice touch. The eyes are well focused, which is good, but the makeup (white streak) is not so flattering. A little over the top on the red lipstick as well. Probably what you were going for, but not overly appealing for me personally. Also just noticed that the area under her chin appears yellowish in relation to the rest of her face and neck. Good luck in the challenge.

Alone in the Attic

This has an interesting twist. It's quite crisp and well focused from what I can see (it's REALLY small). The mask, well...not sure what to say about that. Hard to know how this photo could have really done being so small. That's going to impact the score regardless of how good the photo might be. All JMO of course. Good luck.

Love the expression on her face. Nice candid pose. Wish the tonal range was a little wider. Either needs some levels adjustment and/or added contrast IMO. Best of luck to you in the challenge.

Waiting

And she's STILL waiting while you take the photograph. :D Items well positioned for this shot. Nice color tones. The texture in her jacket seems almost 3D-ish - jumps right out there. Proper expression on her face. Only nit is her hat blending into the wall being the same colors. Good luck in the challenge.

Lovely background. Good colors and clarity. Can't help but wonder how long he had to hold his arm up for this shot (no water dripping and hand/arm seem stiff/posed). :D Good luck in the challenge.

Ok. Hurry up and take the shot would ya? :D Love the expression on her face. An attractive lady that is well represented by this photograph. She's lucky to have you behind the camera. Well done! Good luck in the challenge.

Friendship

I love this for the warm fuzzies (have 2 cats also - but they're not friends yet). :D The blown out highlights are a major bummer. A different crop might have helped eliminate some of it and seeing how the editing rules are advanced for this challenge you could have cleaned it up a little. Looks like everything else is in place - some will complain about the frame, but oh well. :) Good luck in the challenge.

Day Tripper

This guy has character! The image is a little grainy, but it almost seems intentional? Perhaps to match the wood grain and background? Or maybe to mask a face that wasn't quite sharp enough? Hmmm. Regardless, I like this photo very much and wish you luck with it in the challenge.
