Funny shot - Scored it a 6 during the challenge. I like the choice of sepia tones, but probably would have bumped up the contrast a bit. Cool find - good eye for spotting it.

I like the soft focus/glow you've used on these throughout - very effective and creates a nice overall impact for portraits. That being said, this particular pose again seems a little lifeless. She doesn't look particularly thrilled to be there, shoulders sagging, almost frowning. Technically I don't think there's a lot wrong with the shot, there's just not a lot of zip.

This is my 2nd pick. Lighting, focus & color are all good IMHO. Not as crazy about the pose/expression - it just doesn't have much life or energy. There's nothing wrong with it, it just doesn't pop.

Not the most flattering pose or lighting IMHO. This is my least favorite of the four (although none are bad). The lighting seems unbalanced in this shot, causing a glare and I personally don't care for the fact that she's looking so far off-camera. Still, your focus and color choices are really good.

I think this is the best of the four. I like the expression and the pose. The lighting is good - as is the color. Things seem more "even" or "balanced" in this shot than the others. Nice work.

Great shot - and strong entry. Certainly in the vein of Newton with subject placement, tonal range, lighting. Nice job.
