I'm guessing this one belongs to you Justin? If not I apologize, I have been wrong before.

The first thing that grabs me is this beautiful young ladies eyes. Amazing is hardly the word to use but the only one that comes to mind right now. Lighting is perfect and overall this shot should do VERY well in this challenge. One of my picks for one of the top spots. Someday I hope to capture portraits like this one, good luck and congratulations on this beautiful shot.

Very well done! Beautiful model and great composition with this shot make it a pleasure to view and vote on. I even like the high key-ness (is that a word? hehe) of the background. Her smile is natural and those eyes just draw you into the shot. DOF and skin tones are spot on. Great job.

Coming back to bump up.

What a wonderful photo you have here. Composition is perfect, model attractive and the title really explains her expression to me. I also love the hair covering her other eye completing the mystery of who this young lady is. Bravo!

I really like the detail in this shot. His eyes are piercing. I also think that the b/w tones are an added bonus to this great portrait. Well done.

Another one of my top pics for this challenge. Spectacular DOF working for you in this shot. I also Like how you kept the leg just outside the border. Creepy little bug you got there! 10 from me.

This shot is simply stunning. One of my top picks for this challenge. I just can't find anything about this shot that I would change. I like your use of the babies breath (flowers) in the hair and in the front of this shot. The detail in her eye is AMAZING! Lighting really helps set the mood for this making it one of the best shots in this challenge IMHO. Well done!

Very nice perspective. I really like how the railing bars lead you into the shot and draw my eye down to the center of the spiral. Only suggestion is that it might be a tad brighter. Perhaps a half a stop down?
