The gradation in the sky on top suffers a bit from 8-bit jpeg but all other aspects (especially the composition) of the photograph are pretty good. The colors don't have such a strong impact on me, they are a bit blah. The person has a oversharpening halo. 7

Good balance between light and dark. It is a bit small and it lacks a bit of emotion for me. 7

Interesting color contrast. There are some blowouts on the face and the right breast and I'd crop off the fingers in the lower right. The green vs red works well and her expression is interesting. 7

It is nice how all the lines lead to the centre. This way the centered composition doesn't suffer so much from being centered. The balance between the dark forest on the right and the fields at the left and in the centre is interesting but also to extreme, because of the blown out highlights. Therefore I think it might have worked better if you had cropped of a part of the left, precisely there where the bushes take over the fence. You'd loose the annoying bright spot at the left.
Wonderful tone and mood. 8

Excellent portrait. Great composition, not only is the face in a good part of the frame but the background tells something about the person and the brooms act like a leading line. The expression is the one of someone who has had a hard but honest live. Love the tone. I don't know why I had this at 8, bumpin up to 10.

Dark vs light balances out almost great here. Just a tad too much bright on the body. Composition is awesome. Feels like a JJBeguin. 8

The saturated colors create a great mood. The placement of the colors reminds me of the reversed ethiopian flag, very important to rastafariah. Nice relaxed mood. 8
