Mona Lisa Smile

face is exposed well. however because you chose to shoot your light from below head level there is not a lot of light to cover the hair area. and your model has a great hair style. either use a another light as a hair light or get a reflector to channel some light back down onto the hair

you seem to have gotten flare along the top left. also the model seems to be squinting slightly. have the model close her eyes before the shutter

Any Colour You Like

a bit overexposed on the white parts of the picture. the highlights along the face are a bit blown out.

the right side of the background seems a bit over complicated and it detracts the viewers eye from the subject

good even lighting, however, i dont think the horizontal format works for this shot. i think vertical would hav ebeen better.

hmm the model seems to have squinted at the shutter. one way to avoid this is to have the model blink several times or close his/her eyes before the shot. and then open them right before you take the picture.

blue channels seem to be oversaturated. background seem to have an off-white or beige ton to it which somewhat matches the contrast levels of the skin. this tends to mesh the background and the model to the same tone, instead of separating the subject from its background

The tracks of her tears

Comment:
the title, expression, and background of the picture seems to promote a sense of sadness. however, the lighting is soft and broad, almost boardering a high key (shadowless) effect. this soft lighting usually doesn't promote the sense of drama or sadness as well as harsh or high key lighting. an easy way to achieve a harsh lighting setup is to use a single, powerful, source of light (such as a street lamp or something at night)

it looks like you used the camera flash, which is good as a fill. but when the sun doesn't do much to contribute to the lighting, the lighting and thus the picture always seems to look a bit flat. with stright on lighting, the picture loses a lot of it's 3d feel. also the picture looks a bit cool. im not sure if this was a white balance issue

eye spy .... a fractional self portrait

i think it would look cool if the only thing that outlined the eye was the eye lashes. maybe dodge out the skin parts.
