A Portrait Of A Portraitist

I'll have to agree with the others that say that the biggest downfall on this shot would be the harsh shadows. Getting lighting right is tricky, but really helps to separate professional shots from more snapshot-ish ones.

The composition on this one seems a little off to me also, with things divided nearly exactly in half vertically. I like the idea of the shot, but I would have enjoyed seeing more of your face in it.

And like others have mentioned, a 5.6 is nothing to sneeze at!

Looks like you were a little over-ambitious on the dodging/burning...

My first "WOW" of the challenge! I really like the perspective here. Must have been a *really* wide lens!

Sentinel

Seems rather oversaturated and doesn't really focus on architecture (the only building is too far away to really be considered much of a focal point).

What a tease of a shot! Very nice and crisp, and sensual.

Hot Girl Sweats it Out!

Super shot! She's a stunning-looking girl, and the sweat is enough to make this meet the challenge nicely. I really like her reflection here, too. Very nice.
