A sweet portrait that I'm sure the models will really like. Colour seems a little too orange to me.

Nice use of light and shadow lines to add interest.

At Rest

I like the shapes - the semicircle of the bushes, the strong lines of the steps, columns and bench. And I like the feeling of contemplation/ rest.
Not sure you picked a very nice model ;)

I think going in closer would create more impact, as would a portrait orientation - the space at the two sides adds nothing.

A lovely portrait with nice close crop, nice touch of framing from the shirt edge below, and nice close crop to create a feeling of intimacy.

Passion

Comment:
I really like the composition, with the line of his profile cutting the frame so confidently. The slight smile on his face is endearing and the light in his eyes certainly speaks of passion. I like that I can see his teeth - makes the smile look more genuine. Lighting seems a touch hard on his nose and cheek - is it already diffused? I like this one a lot.

I like this wider portrait that shows some of her environment - it makes me think that perhaps she is an artist, this lady who lives in a beautifully decorated loft apartment.

A sweet pose and an unusual composition within the frame.

This is very striking and reminds me of the kind of image I'd expect to see on a magazine cover. I'd like to crop even tighter at the right (to lose all that background on that side) and a touch more on top. I think it creates a stronger composition. This is just beautiful. If the light were a touch softer on her face I think it would be perfect.

A nice use of her hair to provide shape and framing. Such a close up demands more perfection though and I'd really like to remove those stray hairs on her face. It also feels as though she is squinting against bright light, and I'd like to see her eye opened to a more natural extent. Great choice to go black and white with a touch of toming (though it appears a touch too green for my tastes).
